Review Detail

Noura’s Crescent Moon follows Noura and her family through a special celebration during Ramadan. Noura has just participated in her first fast and is excited about all the cultural traditions her faith observes to welcome the new moon. This book highlights the positive experience Muslims have participating in an important holiday in their faith. The back matter explains the references from the book in better detail for readers not of the faith. The illustrations used bright yellows, oranges, blues, and purples to set the festive mood and expectant watching for the new moon. Overall, this book highlights an important tradition of Muslims positively.
