The Best Eid Ever Reviews

[A] beautifully composed story... this is a welcome contribution, giving much-needed visibility to a celebration observed by over ten million people in North America. -School Library Journal

After reading this book, children will have a greater appreciation for the Muslim culture and will have no problem realizing that love is an action word. This book would be a nice read-aloud for elementary age children. -Library Media Connection
