Happy Ramadan!

Happy Ramadan to those who celebrate! This picture book got me in the holiday spirit with its beautiful Palestinian garb and family vibes. My niece read the book out loud as soon as I showed it to her.

Thank you HarperCollins Kids for the copy!

This is a fun book about family and food. Everyone adding their idea of the perfect holiday meal reminded me of the Friend's Thanksgiving episode with different potatoes.
I especially liked the beautiful Palestinian dresses Teta and Malak's mom wore.

This picture book deals with the relatable event of not being around friends and family during Eid. I like that the cookies she bakes have pistachios (spoiler), which are trending rn because of 'Dubai chocolate.'

This is a gorgeous, fun, fold-out board book for young readers. The exciting adventure starts out right away with the night before Eid. I love the cat on every page. I just wish we got some names of the kids or the family.

I love this book since I am surrounded by arguers. I love the stark illustrations, there should be dolls or a TV show made featuring their unique style.
The concept reminded me of The Favourite and made me want to watch The Roses.
