About the Book and Author
This bright and boldly illustrated picture book introduces the true meaning of Eid to young children. It features a non-fiction page for especially curious minds about Eid, including different Eid traditions, foods and greetings.
Safa is so excited for Eid-al-Fitr. She loves drawing henna patterns on her hands, decorating her home and munching on biryani, kebabs and samosas. It is the perfect day.
Then the best part comes: she gets to open her presents! She is gifted a shiny pink bicycle. The only thing is she absolutely doesn’t want to share with her cousin, Alissa.
As her mum takes her on an adventure to gift delicious Eid treats to all their neighbours, Safa will realise how wonderful it is to make others happy…and will want to make it up to Alissa.
After all, what makes Eid exciting is sharing special moments with the people we love.
