About this item
"We wait for the moon. We watch for the moon. We watch for the Ramadan moon. We give to the poor, and read Quran, under the moon. We live our faith, until next year under the moon, under the moon, under the Ramadan moon."Ramadan is one of the most special months of the Islamic year, when Muslims pray, fast, and help those in need. The lyrical story, with luminous illustrations, serves as an introduction to Ramadan - a time for reflection and ritual with family and friends. A detailed note about Ramadan is included.
About the Author
Please visit my website: www.sylviawhitmanbooks.com
I write ... all kinds of things, for kids and adults, but most recently books for kids. I'm interested in American and Arab history and good stories. My first YA novel, The Milk of Birds, is being published by Atheneum in spring 2013.
I work ... at Marymount University as a writing specialist, which makes me the campus cheerleader for writing. I talk a lot with faculty and sometimes I teach. I've taught freshman seminars on learning about the Middle East and North Africa and on writing about cooking and eating.
I live ... in Arlington, Virginia, with my family.
I play ... with my kids, and a little basketball. I miss playing squash. I walk a lot and swim.
I like ... (in no particular order) the ocean, couscous, dogs, flowers from bulbs, photographs.
