This is the story of fasting on Ramadan and the acceptance a young girls finds when she is invited to a birthday party by her non-Muslim friends. This first day (ever?) of fasting is not easy, but the benefits and the evening meal are worth it.
Lovely soft illustrations emphasize and illustrate without being preachy.
An author's note discusses Ramadan and about wearing the Hijab (head covering.)
