#30DaysRamadan Kidlit Book Giveaway: Amal’s Ramadan and Amal’s Eid

June 23, 2016 by Valarie Budayr

30 Days of Ramadan Kidlit Book Giveaway: Amal’s Ramadan and Amal’s Eid (FIVE chances to win!)

Multicultural Children’s Book Day has joined forces with powerhouse multicultural children’s book publisher Wisdom Tales Press to create a much-needed initiative

Given the recent backlash and misconceptions in the media regarding Muslims and Islam, Multicultural Children’s Book Day will be focusing on the Muslim holiday of Ramadan June 5th-July 5th 2016 as a way to bring awareness and understanding about our Muslim neighbors via the pages of children’s literature.

30 Days of Ramadan: Understanding Our Friends is a celebration of children’s literature which includes characters and storylines that celebrate being Muslim. Books profiled will include topics like Muslims and the religion of Islam, books which specifically look at the Ramadan holiday and/or the authors that are Muslim.

2016-05-13_11-16-16

Starting June 5th, bloggers are encouraged to share links to their posts about books they have chosen to review via a link-up that will be located on the Multicultural Children’s Book Day website. These books will be of their own choice, not supplied by MCCBD. This linky will be a great way for author, parents and bloggers to not only get involved, but work to create a reading resource that can be used for parents and educators.

During the event articles and blog posts about the various ways to celebrate Ramadan will be shared by Muslim authors, illustrators, and publishers via social media, using event hashtag #30DaysRamadan, and also on the MCCBD blog. Islam is a worldwide religion that is currently being practiced by 1.7 billion people in over 300 countries. It is the most diverse religion in the world.

Sailaja N. Joshi  | CEO and Founder of  Bharat Babies  {“inspired by india. made for little hands} was gracious enough to offer FIVE lucky winners each a copy of  Amal’s Ramadan and Amal’s Eid!

Ramadan books for kids

About Bharat Babies

In the Spring of 2013, Sailaja Joshi was on a mission to complete her baby registry in preparation for the arrival of her first child. Inline with her “library” themed baby shower, Sailaja went on the hunt to find books about Indian culture that she could share with her newborn daughter. Of the few books that spoke to her Indian heritage, Sailaja realized that none of these books took into account the developmental needs of her growing child. Recognizing this gap in children’s literature, the idea for Bharat Babies was born.
