Ramadan 101: A Magical Message for Kids & Adults

Transcript

Ramadan in 2022 is not only a time of fasting, prayer and reflection. Today's generation of Muslims decorate for Ramadan, put up Ramadan trees and exchange presents. It's a joyous time of family togetherness and celebration. Talha and Rahama Alvi have created a children's book, The Ramadan Tree, that demystifies Ramadan and Islamic culture for kids, with adults along for the ride. Talha did most of the writing while Rahama, a graphic artist, did the many gorgeous illustrations. She's also a public school art teacher and encountered questions about Ramadan from her students.  Both are passionate about spreading the word that Muslim families are part of our community and their cultural and religious traditions are part of what Jimmy Breslin called "the great melting pot."
