Discover the true meaning of Eid in this vibrantly illustrated picture book celebrating the cultural rituals around this important Muslim holiday! Ibraheem loves Eid because Eid means presents! But when Eid arrives and brings trips to the mosque, food, family, games, and fun (but no presents), Ibraheem begins to worry. Luckily his baba and the rest of his family are there to help him learn that Eid is more than just the presents Ibraheem hopes to receive. Baba reminds his son to reflect on all the special things they did together and that they shared during the day, and in the end, Ibraheem finds that the magic and joy of this holiday are in all the special ways it is celebrated.
