  The Celebrations series is an easy-reading edition of Wayland's Festivals series. The full colour illustrations remain the same, but the text has been simplified, and it could be used simultaneously with the original volume in mixed ability groups. Feasting, fasting, pilgrimage and prayers are essential elements of the Muslim religion. This book provides young readers with easy-to -understand descriptions of these traditions. The fasting of Ramadam, the `Id celebrations and the important pilgrimage to Mecca are all explained. The simple text describes the origins and meanings of these traditions and shows how they are celebrated by Muslims today in different parts of the world.
