  This book moves chronologically through the calendar year and looks at the typical events, customs and celebrations celebrated by Muslim children. Festivals such as Ashura and Lailat ul-Miraj, and personal customs such as Ramadan are explored through the use of religious articles, books, buildings, symbols and food. Look inside nine-year-old Nayaab's diary to read what it's like to be at each event. This book links to the following units in the DfES Scemes of Work: What does it mean to belong? (Year 1, looking at religious symbols, clothes, buildings and festivals), Beliefs and practice - generic (Year 1), Celebrations - generic (Year 2), and, What do signs and symbols mean in religion?(Year 3).
