Toddler-PreS–Ramadan, an important Muslim holiday, is a monthlong celebration. This board book goes over the traditions of the holiday in age-appropriate detail, explaining the importance of good deeds, fasting, traditional foods, and prayer. It does a great job demonstrating the diversity of the celebrants, with colorful illustrations depicting a wide range of ages and races, as well as girls with and without hijabs. The lift-the-flap elements reveal traditions and symbols, including the new crescent moon that marks the start and end of Ramadan. While the format is perfect for babies and toddlers, the simple and informative content could expand the appeal to children in kindergarten.
VERDICT A wonderful early introduction to this holiday; a must-purchase for all libraries.
