AWARDS AND REVIEWS
"Readers learn, along with Adam, that Ramadan is about more than being hungry all day—it’s also about the value in helping and being there for others."
"In this warmly interpersonal work, the creators illuminate the tradition of the Ramadan Drummer, who, before alarm clocks, would “call us out of bed for our last meal before fast.”
