Again, I almost did not read a book. I have read several books about Ramadan, and thought that perhaps Ramadan for Everyone: A Muslim Community Story by Aya Khalil would be just like those. Turns out, it is and is not like other books. We have the concept of Ramadan, the events and things one does to honor Allah, but there is more as well. The young girl of the story has a voice that is different from other stories, and yet is familiar too.
The nice thing about Ramadan for Everyone is that it does have that familiarity and differences. Our narrator has issues trying to have a “perfect” Ramadan, because it is her first, but that is relatable to anyone who has tried something and found it difficult. But she is also able to do other things that work towards her strengths, which is a good example for all. 
The illustrations, for me, were a bit too cartoonish, but other than that, I enjoyed the work of Rashin Kheiriyeh. I like the colors and the details (especially the young child making funny faces during prayers) that are presented. I like how the warmth of them allows for a positive overall reading experience as well as they being companions to the story. By reading the illustrations you are able to get pieces of the bigger picture that are not necessarily told via the text. They complement each other well.
Read via an online reader, this book is due later in January 2026.
