Ramadan is a time to grow wings of kindness. Little by little. Day by day.
Haniya is learning all about reflection, sharing, and giving during Ramadan. Whether at home while her family is fasting, or at nursery with her friends, there are little moments throughout the day when Haniya can show kindness to everyone. But how else can she celebrate her family's faith?
Then, one day at the mosque as her family prays, Nanu shows Haniya a picture in the Qu'ran. It's a beautiful garden, wild with plants and trees, and full of animals sharing the natural world together. It gives her an idea! In a quiet corner of her own garden at home, she begins planting, watering, nurturing … waiting. As the phases of the moon change above her, Haniya's garden blossoms and blooms in time for an exciting celebration: a special Eid picnic with friends and family.
- A happy, family-centred story for children aged 3+
- An accessible, authentic and inclusive introduction to Ramadan, Eid, and Islamic rituals for every home, school, nursery, and library.
- Gentle learning about the phases of the moon, gardening, religious festivals, and Islamic community celebrations.
- Warm and bright illustrations bring to life a cosy home, intricately detailed mosque, atmospheric moonlit scenes, and a garden filled with birds and woodland animals.
- Great for sharing with friends and family!
