K-3Looking Glass Library: Cultural Holidays series.
Illustrated by
Holli Conger.
Ramadan explains the rituals, customs, and meanings behind the traditional Muslim month of fasting, as well as giving some background on Islam. The tone of Christmas is slightly different, with explanations of Santa left nebulous, and a discussion of both religious and secular holiday customs. Cheerful illustrations of round-faced revelers support the limited texts. Glos., ind. Review covers these Looking Glass Library: Cultural Holidays titles: Ramadan and Christmas.
