Samira's Eid
Language: Dual English with Bengali or Urdu
The words and illustrations of Samira's Eid bring the spirit of this Islamic festival to life. Narrative in dual language is a fantastic way to introduce a child to characters and words in a new language. The story can be shared and experienced with the parent or grandparent.
The first sighting of the new moon starts a day of celebration for Samira and her family. The Ramadan fast is over and now it is time for prayers and presents. A surprise visitor brings a mysterious present and has an unusual story to tell. This story develops simply through the dialogue between two children, Samira and Hassan, and their parents. It is based on the actual day-to-day religious duties that occur during the holy month and this highlights the spirits of the festival and simultaneously provides the reasoning behind fasting, Eid prayers and Zakat (charity).
A beautiful gift for any child.
