Ramadan in Space

A little boy's journey through Space to Mars! How cool is it, to meet new people! And better yet, to share who you are, and to learn about them too. But there is a catch. We have to get back on Earth in time, and there is a special reason, why. Come on this Space mission, and learn for yourself. Bet it’s the adventure, you don't want to miss! Ramadan is one of the most precious months of the Islamic year, when Muslims fast, pray, and help those around them, who are in need. The Author Moni Z. wrote this book for her sons who are complete Space lovers, and at the same time fascinated by the idea of fasting. And also for her sons' friends, so they could learn about how their Muslim friends celebrated this time with their families. Moni Z. brings to life this lyrical journey of a young boy Ahmed, with Artsy illustrations by her sons, Ahmed and Zaki. This book is a great gift for young kids, which serves as an introduction to Ramadan — a time for recharging the spiritual connection with God, self-reflection and religious rituals with family and friends. A Brief Glossary is included at the end, to familiarize kids to Ramadan concepts. It's a fun adventure ride to learning what Ramadan is all about. So hop on the Spaceship, and let your imagination run wild!
