The Month That Makes the Year
By Inda Ahmed Zahri
This month is different from the others.
It starts with the sighting of a new crescent moon.
'Slow down, be kind to yourself and think good thoughts.'
This month, we learn to do big things by changing one little thing at a time...
It's the first time for Deenie, the youngest member of a Muslim family, to fast during Ramadan. She comes across some challenges, but by the end of the month, she learns that there is a lot more to Ramadan than giving up food and water.
A warm and joyful story offering children the chance to see themselves or their friends in the celebration of the spiritual practice of Ramadan.

“This is a delightful, joyful story of a young girl’s celebration of Ramadan. Follow Deenie as she joins her family and community, for this special month where they ‘learn to do big things by changing one little thing at a time.”. Fasting from dawn to sunset, this is a time of sharing, reflecting, of showing kindness & thankfulness as well as a time to strengthen their faith.”
