Being from Kuwait, I have seen Muslims celebrate Ramadan and Eid and even celebrated this Muslim festival of fasting. The book “Let’s celebrate Ramadan and Eid” still had a lot to teach me about the these two important aspects of the Muslim culture, even enlightening me (and of course my children) about how different cultures around the world celebrate the same days of fasting and festivities. I am constantly on the look out for books that help broaden my children’s world view and this book was a great way to introduce them to the Muslim culture.
No matter how much you think you know, there is always more to learn through the Maya and Neel adventures.
I received this book from Ajanta Chakraborthy, an amazing content creator and am frankly so privileged to get first dibs on this amazing new addition to the Maya and Neel collection of books that imparts to the world the minute intricacies of sub cultures with the Indian ecosystem.
This book is another gem in the beautiful tapestry that Ajanta and her husband Vivek are creating for the world to explore and learn from. I have said it before and I say it again, the word glossary in the beginning is a great addition for families to learn a new language.
Maya and Neel take us on another unique adventure showing us through vivid illustrations and a welcoming story of diversity. They even let us peek into the lives of the Khan family. You really do not want to miss out on this trip around the world with these adorable twosome and their pet squirrel who also gives up peanuts to be one with the family that is hosting them.
The story totally enthralled my children and we have read it five times in the two days we have had it. I would say, if you have a question about the diversity with the Indian culture, Maya and Neel are your go to travel buddies.
If you have not already, there is no better time than now to start on this amazing series and pick up this great book to introduce to your children about Ramadan and Eid.
You can read more in detail about Ramadan and Girgian here and the many delicacies that are enjoyed during this festive time.

We often seek out books from the library to learn about people whose traditions are different than ours. I like that reading gives kids (and adults) a way to explore something unfamiliar in a totally easy way!
How amazing are these!?! We’re raising our 3 kids to be global citizens, to try to encourage their curiosity and understanding of other cultures, religious, languages etc. I’ve gotta check our local library to see if they have any of these in stock, and if not, to request them – thank you!
We live in a city at the moment without any diversity or culture (Cincinnati. blah) and I want my kids to learn these things like I did growing up. Reading books like this would probably be a great start!
Love using bookstore educate my kids on other cultures and areas around the world! I need to check these books out 🙂
Reading books like these is a wonderful idea. Kids need to learn about different cultures as soon as possible to have an open mind in the future
