- Book Synopsis
- Venturing out after dusk with her family, a child is eager to watch for the new moon that signals the start of Eid ul-Fitr celebrations in this charming picture-book debut. With Ramadan and her first month of fasting almost over, Noura, Mama and Papa are headed to the hills for a moonsighting picnic. It would be truly special if Noura could catch a glimpse of the faint silvery crescent, something even her mother has never managed to do. If the moon stays hidden, that means one more long day before the joyful Eid celebrations begin - bringing with them visits with friends, eating sweets and painting henna on her hands. In a lighthearted introduction to Ramadan and Eid, this family-centred tale of anticipation under the stars captures everything from the bustle of a shared meal to the swirling magic of the night sky.
- About The Author
- Zainab Khan received her BA from Boston University and taught elementary school for several years before starting her own preschool programme. Her debut picture book is Noura's Crescent Moon, illustrated by Nabila Adani. Through it she hopes that children will learn a little something about the Islamic lunar month Eid-ul-Fitr and Ramadan and recognize that "regardless of their faith, people celebrate in similar ways: with family, food, and gifts, and with prayers for those who are religious." Of Pakistani heritage, Zainab Khan lives on Long Island with her husband, two children, and a cat. Find her online at zzkbooks.com and on Instagram as @zainabzk1.
