Ramadan Moon’s lyrical text ably captures the excitement and appeal of the special time when Muslims around the world observe a month of fasting and reflection. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is marked by the thirty days between one crescent moon and the next.  The connection between outer practice and inner feeling is profound but child-accessible as the book describes the practice of daytime fasting. Intricate, patchwork-style illustrations capture the far-reaching range of Muslim cultures all around the world….families praying together, breaking their fast together and going to the mosque together.
