Description

Get ready to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, commemorating the end of Ramadan, in this heartfelt picture book.

The first sliver of a new moon hung low and bright
which brought with it the festival of Eid al-Fitr.

Join Hafsa and her family as they prepare to spend Eid with their loved ones, decorating the house and cooking a feast. But, when Hafsas dad starts packing up her favourite snack, the halwa, to share with the neighbours, Hafsa's community rallies together to save the day. With words from award-winning author Hiba Noor Khan and warm, charming art from talented newcomer, SInggih Cahyo Jadmiko, this is the perfect gift to celebrate Eid.
