SUMMARY:KIDS - LAUNCH - Aliya's Secret: A Story of Ramadan by Farida Zaman
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of Aliya’s Secret: A Story of Ramadan! Author and illustrator Farida Zaman will be joining us for a reading and craft. This event is open to the public. The book is recommended for ages 4-7. \n \nAbout the book: \nA heartwarming celebration of Ramadan\, food\, and community. \nRamadan is coming\, and as Abba and Ammi prepare for their month-long fast\, Aliya hugs a secret to her chest: she’s going to fast too! Ammi says she’s still too young to fast\, but Aliya is determined. At school\, she refuses her snack\, her lunch—even the cupcakes Sanjay’s mom drops off for his birthday. But when she gets home\, she can’t resist Ammi’s sweet\, syrupy baklava. Before Aliya can stop herself\, she reaches out and takes a big bite. \nAliya is disappointed in herself\, but Ammi explains that there are many other ways to celebrate Ramadan besides fasting\, like performing acts of kindness! Together\, Aliya and her parents spend the month preparing and delivering meals to people in need. \nThis joyful look at Ramadan is based on the author’s own childhood experiences and is rich with facts and details about the holiday. Readers familiar and unfamiliar with the holiest month in the Islamic calendar will get swept up in the festivities\, and perhaps be inspired to share a meal with their community. \nCan’t attend the event? Order a copy of the book here.
