A delightfully sweet story filled with love, tradition, ingenuity, and genericity.
Zain is excited to share his family’s ka’ak with his classmates. Together with his mother and grandmother, he prepares the treats, learning about their history and adding his own spin to tradition.
The illustrations are lovely. Beautiful use of color that really shows the joy of the occasion.
Includes a ka’ak recipe at the end as well more information about Eid and ka’ak and photos from the author’s own Eid celebrations.
A sweet holiday story, perfect for sharing.
