Ifrah’s Iftar

Iftar, the meal that closes a day of fasting in Ramadan, gives this children's title its setting and its name. The book belongs to the growing shelf of Islamic story books written for young readers, where familiar religious practice is presented through a child's own experience of it. Titles of this kind are usually read aloud at home, often during Ramadan itself, and they work by letting children see their own routines reflected on the page. The English text keeps the vocabulary within reach of early readers and of the parents reading with them. What the book offers: • A Ramadan and iftar theme presented for a young audience • English-language text suited to reading aloud at home • A story book rather than a manual of religious instruction • A seasonal choice for families marking Ramadan together Written for Muslim children and the families reading alongside them, and available from Boipoka.
