Gifts and gatherings, feasts and fireworks--welcome to an Eid al-Fitr board book adventure with pages to peek through and gatefolds to open!

The Abrams Trail Tale series takes readers on unforgettable holiday-themed adventures. This new tale, written and illustrated by Aaliya Jaleel, follows a brother and sister as they make their way through their neighborhood delivering gifts to uncles sipping cha’i, favorite neighbors, and friends before they meet up with their family for prayer and a big, celebratory dinner. Young readers will delight in the clever die-cut surprises throughout and the dramatic quadruple gatefold at the end that reveals a special, festive Eid celebration.

Other books in the series include Merrytale, Spookytale, and LunarTale.
