Synopsis

Celebrate Ramadan and Eid in this heartfelt picture book.

The first sliver of a new moon hung low and bright ...
which brought with it the festival of Eid al-Fitr.

Join Hafsa and her family as they prepare to spend Eid with their loved ones, decorating the house and cooking a feast. But, when Hafsa's dad starts packing up her favourite snack, the halwa, to share with the neighbours, Hafsa's community rallies together to save the day.

In this heartwarming picture book, you will learn the recipe for how to make your very own halwa and a guide to crafting Eid-inspired bunting to decorate the house. With words from award-winning author Hiba Noor Khan and warm, charming art from talented newcomer, SInggih Cahyo Jadmiko, this is the perfect gift to celebrate Eid.

Reviews

Linda

I read A Golden Eid to my three-year-old and, while much of the detail was a little over her head, it was still a lovely introduction to the celebration of Eid and a gentle way to begin talking about different world faiths.

As a family that isn’t Muslim, it felt like a great stepping stone for helping her understand the celebrations some of her friends observe. The story itself is simple and warm, focusing on the joy of preparing for Eid and the importance of kindness and thinking of others. That message of generosity and community is universal, making the book accessible regardless of faith - or no faith at all.

The illustrations are particularly beautiful: bright, welcoming and full of life. They do a wonderful job of drawing children into the story and bringing the celebration to life. While younger children may not grasp every element, it’s still a charming book to share together. I imagine it would be especially meaningful for Muslim children, offering the joy of seeing their traditions and celebrations represented in a story. Overall, a warm and thoughtful picture book that opens the door to conversations about culture, celebration and kindness.
