These were really nice stories but I oftentimes wished they were a bit longer because some wrapped up quite quickly (even for short stories). Some stories I didn’t really feel much about, but I did especially love Don’ut Break Tradition and Not Only an Only. The art in this book throughout was also wonderful - I’m not sure if it was all the same artist or not but each cover and the graphic novel section were so lovely.

This is a lovely collection of stories and illustrations relating to Ramadhan & Eid from amazing authors and artists. For me personally, all the stories were heartwarming, touching, emotional, relatable and soothing. Each story gives a sense of hope and joy just by reading them. Truly wholesome and inspiring story-telling.

This was such a sweet collection of short stories about Ramadan and Eid! I liked how the stories represented Muslims from various cultures and explored different Eid traditions. My favorite stories were Taste, Seraj Captures the Moon, and Searching for Blue.

this book was so fun but i wish the stories were just a *tad* longer!! most (if not all) of them finished just as they begin their eid celebrations and i wish we got to see that as well.

considering eid is my least favorite holiday i would say this book was just not for me, i hoped in the process of reading it i would get all joyful reading about others experiences but that unfortunately didn't happen and i jsut found myself being either bored or indifferent the whole time raeding

not that it anything against the stories themselves, they are just not for me and i am self aware enough to say that, so dont take my rating into consideration what so ever

This collection of short stories was so cute and heartwarming! I found myself smiling and tearing up with every story. Definitely recommend!
