Hammond Elementary teacher-librarian Kristen Power recommends by Natasha Khan Kazi to mark the start of Ramadan.听
I recommend Moon鈥檚 Ramadan by Natasha Khan Kazi for a meaningful exploration of Ramadan and its traditions as students around our district begin observing the holy month.
Moon’s Ramadan is beautifully illustrated and written in a way that showcases and celebrates Ramadan, while exploring how important the holiday is to many countries around the world.听
The book follows the moon as she goes through her eight phases while observing how different countries celebrate Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Through its vibrant artwork and storytelling, Moon’s Ramadan showcases the traditions of fasting, praying, sharing meals, and giving. The story concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.
Ramadan begins and ends with a sighting of the crescent moon. This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on February 28, 2025, and end around March 29, 2025.
