Today we will read The Gift of Ramadan by Rabia York Lombard and illustrated by Laura Kay Horton.
This book was published by Albert Whitman and Company in 2019.
A rainbow of color winked at Sophia as she handed the Ramadan lights to her mama.
These were her favorite decorations, because they made her feel as though a special guest was coming.
Grandma raised an eyebrow.
Pretty, she said.
Pretty and sparkly.
Just like the heart of a person who fasts.
Sophia stopped twirling.
Really?
she asked.
Sophia loved sparkles, glitter, stars, her new ring.
It was a gift from grandma for her birthday last month.
Grandma stopped rocking.
Really?
Sophia knew that fasting was to not eat or drink from sunup to sundown.
Sophia loved food, but she also loved sparkles.
She turned to her mama.
When does Ramadan begin?
Mama opened the curtain.
