Once Upon an Eid edited by S. K. Ali and Aisha Saeed

 

4 Stars | Once Upon an Eid | Edited by Ali and Saeed | 2020 | Short Story Collection | Grades 3-7 | 5 hours listening time

This is a short story collection about families celebrating Eid which is the culmination of the observance of Ramadan. If you ever wondered what this holiday was like, then this is your window of discovery. There is a variety of stories and some are more serious and others more celebratory. Just as the subtitle says, it is a book filled with joy and hope. 

I recommend this book and can see teachers reading some of the stories with their students around the holiday to give their class a window into the culture. This is really an essential book from Muslim own voices.
