Description
As Ramadan arrives, ten-year-old Lailah is thrilled to fast alongside her family and friends in Abu Dhabi—but when she moves to Atlanta, her new school community doesn’t automatically understand what Ramadan means. Navigating questions from classmates and the challenge of explaining her fasting to her teacher, Lailah turns to unexpected guidance from the school librarian, Mrs. Scrabble. Through Lailah’s warm, age-appropriate journey, the story explores cultural identity, empathy, and the small acts of communication that help communities grow closer. With Reem Faruqi’s accessible, heartfelt storytelling, this is a celebration of faith, belonging, and the courage it takes to share your traditions.
