Today our Muslim friends stopped by with a present for Eid--the day of feasting and celebration that ends the month of fasting (Ramadan). With that gift came It's Ramadan, Curious George.
My kids love Curious George, so it was a great way for them to learn about their friends' celebrations. After reading the book and explaining Ramadan and Eid to my kids, my youngest daughter made plans to share our celebrations with them by bringing them Christmas cookies.
This book would be great for Muslim children, but I also think it's good for non-Muslim children. It's a fun and easy way to learn about other traditions, other faiths, and other people.
