A Word from the Author

Why This Story

I wrote this book because I wanted children to feel the anticipation — that magical countdown feeling — before Eid. It is not just about the celebration itself, but about the three days of preparation, togetherness, and small acts of love that make Eid so meaningful. — Dr. Serene, Author
