"Can I fast too?" Every Muslim family hears it the moment the Ramadan moon appears.Nihan is ten, and he is fasting the WHOLE day. Little Nazaat wants to fast too. She wakes up for suhoor (and falls asleep in her toast!), she says no to breakfast... and then her tummy goes GRRRRUMBLE, louder than a lion.That is when Nana shares a secret: fasting isn't just for tummies. Hands and tongues can fast too. So Nazaat tries her very own "little fast": no grumbling at tidy-up time, no grabbing at the park, and no shouting when her tower comes crashing down. She fills the sadaqah jar, carries treats to the neighbour, and at sunset she gets the most important job of all: handing out the dates for iftar.A warm, funny Ramadan story that helps little ones feel part of the holy month, without pressure and without shame, and gently teaches good manners, kindness and patience.Inside you'll find:A joyful read-aloud story with a refrain children love to shout: "I'm not too little for THAT!"Simple Ramadan words in everyday life: suhoor, iftar, adhan, sadaqah, BismillahA gentle, practical idea for parents: the "little fast" of good deedsTips for grown-ups on including young children in RamadanA 30-day Little Fast chart to colour inA Little Ramadan Helper certificatePerfect for ages 2 to 6, for bedtime in Ramadan, Ramadan baskets, Eid gifts, nurseries and Islamic schools.
