About this book
Night of the Moon: A Muslim Holiday Story by Hena Khan follows Yasmeen, a seven-year-old Pakistani-American girl, through the month of Ramadan.
As Yasmeen watches the moon change shape each night, she learns about fasting, prayer and giving, shares Ramadan with her friends at school, and finally celebrates the Night of the Moon, Chaand Raat, before Eid. Julie Paschkis's illustrations are inspired by Islamic art.
It is a beautiful book for introducing Ramadan to young children.
