A family meal takes shape

Malak looks forward to helping her grandmother prepare iftar, but choosing ingredients for makloubeh becomes a family puzzle when everyone has a favorite to contribute. The kitchen gathering gives this picture book a way to bring Ramadan traditions together with the everyday give-and-take of cooking as a family. Its focus on one shared dish makes food and celebration tangible for young readers, while the title hints at the meal’s upside-down presentation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 learning about Ramadan and iftar

  • Families looking for a picture book centered on cultural celebration
