Maymoona's Moon: A Special Eid Story

Authors: Razeena Omar Gutta and Faaiza OsmanIllustrator: Zayneb Haleem

A charming story about anticipation, celebration and tradition, in which Maymoona and her loving family’s Eid celebration is interwoven with a little girl’s aspirations to be an astronaut, as Maymoona cleverly finds a way to be the first to see the crescent moon and to announce that Eid has begun.

Visualised in soft pinks, golds and lavenders that deepen to purple as the sun sets, this beautiful picture book is full of festivity and will delight anyone who has ever looked up into the evening sky and been enchanted by the moon.
