Treasury of Eid Tales

By Fawzia Gilani-Williams

Book Overview

Celebrate the Spirit of Eid Through Stories of Faith, Kindness, and Giving

Join beloved characters like sweet Nena, generous Michaeel Adam, and the magical Drummer of Dushang in this heartwarming collection of 14 short stories inspired by the joy and meaning of Eid. Each tale is rooted in Islamic values, opening and closing with a verse from the Quran and sharing powerful lessons about charity, empathy, and love for Allah.

Inspired by classic tales like The Pied Piper and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, this treasury offers both familiar storytelling frameworks and unique cultural context. Characters often make personal sacrifices for the sake of others--offering their last coins, gifts, or food--only to be rewarded in heartwarming and unexpected ways. Every antagonist experiences a change of heart, and each tale ends with the joyous declaration: "I love You, Allah."

With vibrant illustrations, culturally rich storytelling, and a helpful glossary of Islamic terms, Treasury of Eid Tales is the perfect book to share with children during Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha--or any time of year.

A celebration of Eid for young readers and families everywhere.
