The Most Exciting Eid

Safa can’t wait for Eid al-Fitr! She loves the special decorations, the henna patterns Mum puts on their hands, the yummy food and the big family gathering. That morning, after the family arrive, they open gifts and Safa gets everything she wanted, including a new bike! Her cousin Alissa shouts after her as she rides off, but Safa doesn’t feel like sharing. Luckily, Mum has a plan for an activity to show Safa how much joy can be found in sharing.

This beautiful book is full of warmth and happiness. Safa’s delight in bringing other people happiness is infectious. The illustrations explode with colour, full of gorgeous patterns and tiny details. The perfect picture book showcasing the pleasure of festivals and celebrations.
