A first Eid in Kenya

Ali’s holiday in Mombasa brings family time together with the sights and customs of Ramadan and Eid-Ul-Fitr. The story centers on his first experience of the celebration in Kenya: sharing his grandmother’s food, accompanying his grandfather to an open-air market to look for goats, and joining Eid prayers in a crowded field. These details give the book a child’s-eye view of a family celebration shaped by place, tradition, and time with grandparents.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children learning about Ramadan and Eid-Ul-Fitr through a family story.
  • Families seeking a picture-book story set in Kenya and centered on grandparents.

Book overview

Ali has spent time with his Grandparents in Kenya before, but this will be the first time he will be spending part of Ramadhan and Eid-Ul-Fitr with them and he is very excited at the prospect as well as curious as to what awaits him. He can not wait for the school holidays to start, so that he, his parents and his sister can travel to Mombasa, Kenya for their summer holiday.

 

Join Ali as he experiences his first Eid-Ul-Fitr in Kenya with all the delicious food his Hababa ( Grandmother ) makes. Follow him as he accompanies his Jid ( Grandfather ), to an open air market to look for goats, to praying his first ever Eid prayers in an open air field with what looks like a sea of people and how everything ends making this his best Eid-Ul-Fitr ever!
