Ramadan has come to an end, and Amira can't wait to stay home from
school to celebrate Eid. There's just one hiccup: it's also school
picture day. How can Amira be in two places at once?
An ALSC Notable Children's Book
Just the thought of Eid makes Amira warm and tingly inside. From wearing
new clothes to handing out goody bags at the mosque, Amira can't wait
for the festivities to begin. But when a flier on the fridge catches her
eye, Amira's stomach goes cold. Not only is it Eid, it's also school
picture day. If she's not in her class picture, how will her classmates
remember her? Won't her teacher wonder where she is?
Though the day's celebrations at the mosque are everything Amira was
dreaming of, her absence at picture day weighs on her. A last-minute
idea on the car ride home might just provide the solution to everything
in this delightful story from acclaimed author Reem Faruqi, illustrated
with vibrant color by Fahmida Azim.
