After moving away from her extended family and a bustling city, Reem struggles to adjust to her new home but finds solace in her Mom's Eid cookies and a new friend with whom to share them.

Description

A touching picture book about moving neighbourhoods in the midst of Eid preparations, Cookies and Crescents explores how traditions can evolve when we embrace the possibilities of new beginnings, perfect for fans of Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away and Amira’s Picture Day.

Reem doesn’t want to leave her home in the city, to move far away from her community and the bustling Eid celebrations she’s used to. Eid is supposed to be a time to connect with family and friends—and this year was her turn to help make Mama’s famous Eid cookies! What will Reem do alone in a quiet neighbourhood so far away?

But Mama is sure a place of their own is what’s best. Besides, maybe under this new sky they’ll finally be able to spot the moon.

This sweet, authentic picture book explores how traditions (and recipes) can change and grow, and how holidays can be special no matter where they’re celebrated.
