Here are the list of children’s books, which address Ramadan (Islamic month of fasting), and Islam’s two holidays of Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha. All of these books are available through Amazon, and may be available in your local libraries. This list is likely not exhaustive, so if you notice books we have overlooked, please let us know and we’ll add them on. These books are important in not only teaching children literacy skills, but also teaching young children about their culture and identity.
