LEYLA UND LINDA FEIERN RAMADAN

Leyla is a little girl from Cologne who travels to Turkey each summer to visit family. This summer is very special because it is Ramadan. On top of that, her kindergarten friend Linda comes over from her holiday destination of Lesbos for a few days with her mom. Linda is very curious about Ramadan and Leyla as well as her grandfather explain the festivities to her.

This book provides a lot of information for non-muslim readers, but also familiar settings and topics to muslim children who celebrate Ramadan. The pictures are clear and colorful, but I found some of them a little boring.
The picture book is bilingual: Every double page shows a picture, the German text on one side and the English text on the other side. Unfortunately, there show more are several mistakes in the German text and the English text is not always idiomatic.

It is still a great book to learn about Ramadan and the children's perspective is portrayed in a convincing manner. show less
