Haniya’s Ramadan Garden

Kindness and flowers grow together in this charming story of generosity, family and community, perfect to share during Eid and Ramadan, for ages 3+

By Zeshan Akhter

Ramadan is a time to grow wings of kindness. Little by little. Day by day. Haniya is a bit too young to fast during Ramadan. So, in a quiet corner of the garden, she finds her own special way to celebrate her family’s faith in the lead-up to Eid al-Fitr. Planting, watering, nurturing … waiting. As her garden blooms, so does her understanding of generosity and empathy for her family and the world around her. This authentic picture book shines a light for all children wanting to make a mark in their communities, providing essential and inspirational reading for all classrooms, libraries and homes. A beautiful gift for Eid al-Fitr and for anyone wishing to learn about Islamic rituals and values.
