Celebrate the beginning of Ramadan with a young boy and his father in this nighttime sensory picture book that celebrates the wonder, excitement, and peace of the holiday!

The call for prayer hugs tight the sky of Damascus on the first night of Ramadan. As steps flutter to fill spaces in mosques, Sami sets out on a nighttime walk with Baba to answer his question: what does a Ramadan night feel like?

Through an evening full of sounds and sights and scents, Sami feels the celebration of community. He feels the connection and calm of prayer. He feels the delight of a late-night dessert. He feels the joy of generosity.

He feels…a Ramadan night.

A Ramadan Night seeks to capture the special feeling that accompanies the first night of Ramadan. The illustrations have a dreamy quality with the use of yellow against dark blue to evoke the special feelings the child is experiencing. This story is about a boy going with his father to join the other male members of the community in prayer, and the lack of gender representation stood out to me. Overall, this book succeeds in capturing a positive feeling of love, celebration, and faith. One thing I do wish the book had been an equal representation of females during Ramadan.
