I liked this book because it had a narrative that was informational in a way that a child might appreciate. For example, the book explains the Muslim religion in a short and sweet fashion when it says “ Assalamu alaikum! That means ‘May peace be with you” and “Hakeem is Muslim, which means he believes in the religion of Islam”. The writing flowed well in my opinion. The story follows a boy as he learns about Ramadan, as he is a young boy, and how he participates and learns the tradition. I think that the main idea of this text is to be informative to its audience and to tell a story that allows the audience to be indulged in the tale, but also learn. This is evident to me when the book says ‘To prepare for fasting, Muslims wake up before dawn…and eat an early meal called ‘Suhur’”. The book then goes on to say “Hakeem’s family eats a variety of food during Suhur”. This allows the reader to further see and identify this new word. The book is clearly contemporary realistic fiction as it is believable and is representative of how a young child might become accustom to experiencing and participating in a new practice such as when Hakeem, the main character gets overly excited when seeing the tasty food at Suhur. Ramadan is about how Muslims celebrate the month long holiday. It follows the family of Hakeem, but mainly gives facts and information about Ramadan. It tells how Muslims fast during the day, go to the mosque every night, and spend quality time with their family. Ramadan is the most special time of the year for Muslims and is a time for reflection. Muslims strive to forgive others and be positive during Ramadan. It is the holiest month of the year for Muslims. I liked that the last page of the book is a glossary. It defines the Muslim terms used throughout the book. While there is a family mentioned, the book is mainly information about Ramadan. There was no character development present in this book. The characters' desires is to celebrate Ramadam. I think this is a great book for all ages to read because it gives insight on a religion. Each person has their own beliefs and I think it is important to be knowledgeable and respectful of each one. Ramadan follows a young boy as he and his family observe Ramadan. The book, told from the boy's perspective, explains the practices Muslims observe during Ramadan. I really enjoyed this book because I thought it did a great job explaining Ramadan. Coming from a non-Muslim background, I did not know much about Ramadan before reading this book, but I felt like I learned a good deal from this book. While the book is very informative, it was written so young people can understand it and holds the reader's interest. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
