  This book uses the same approach and illustrations as 'Festival: Id-ul-Fitr', but has shorter simplified text. It tells the story of the festival and how it is celebrated around the world today. It shows how the festival starts with prayers, the cards and presents that are given, the clothes worn, the food that is eaten and the games that are played.
