It’s. So. Beautiful.
The epub.
I am so used to getting epubs that aren’t final versions or are final versions and just suck, with weird margins and fonts, and low-res images I can’t make head nor tails of. Ramadan by Ausma Zehanat Khan is just so beautiful and colourful and laid out in such a way that what I’m focusing on is the fact that someone, somewhere (I guess, to be specific, someone(s) at Orca Publishing) knows how to make beautiful epubs.
So beautiful.
Content: A good introduction to Ramadan for kids, probably up to early high school. There are recipes (lassi, yay!) and information, but it’s so beautiful it could have just been lorem ipsum text in parts because the pictures and layout, be still my graphic-design beating heart. It would be good for a classroom discussion, maybe taking the pressure off any Muslims to feel like they have to be ambassadors/educators to everyone else (I remember a classmate fasting for Ramadan for the first time growing weary of having to explain again and again and again).
But the beauty. It’s so beautiful the book. It’s worth it for the beauty alone.

I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
