The banter in this 36 page Ramadan moon book is fun and engaging, and as the mom of five kids who was once a kid herself, the struggle is real to try and spot the Ramadan moon. Most years, frustration abounds and nothing is seen. Haarith has the same problem, but last year he did something about it. In this 36 page book for preschoolers and up, the faceless pictures will have kids giggling and their imagination’s soaring as they try and determine if Ramadan is about to begin.
Haarith loves listening to stories about Ramadan, but always has trouble seeing the Ramadan moon. Last year, he decided to get a closer look. He set out to build a rocket, but his best friend Hakeem had one he could borrow, so Haarith recruits two other friends, Jawaad and Khaleel, and plans are underway. Jawaad will pilot since he flew out of a swing last week, and Khaleel will be in charge of food because his mom makes awesome cakes. The boys head to space, passing, satellites, drones, and NASA rockets, before they see the moon and head back home. After maghrib the community heads to search the sky and when they see nothing, it is Haarith that can locate exactly what they are looking for.
I wish the moon was shown as super thin and hard to see in the illustrations, instead of as a thick crescent so that kids that might not have personal experience could at least understand why Haarith is struggling. Also, I’m not sure why the line spacing on one page is double what it is on the others. Many of the pages are text heavy and could have used some editing to tighten it up, but overall the story is fun.

Such a witty story! The author's personality truly shines through it 🥰. The quirky humor,totally unrelated fun elements, these are what makes this book so special. You don't find the spontaneous fun that kids usually find interesting in most islamic kids books. Honestly, there isn’t a lot of picture books, islamic or otherwise that get me laughing with the kids, but this book really got me going, it was really unexpected bits of funny stuff in there, that makes it a book that readers of all ages can enjoy!
My son was like mommy Ramadan is that fun huh. (Cause he always thinks Christmas etc is more fun and we don’t have enough “fun” etc) so I’m so grateful that this could plant that thought in his head!
