Quote from Lailah's Lunchbox
Lailah's Lunchbox: A Ramadan Story
by Reem Faruqi with illustrations by Lea Lyon
Tilbury House Publishers, Thomaston, Maine © 2015 32 pp."We won't be needing
this for a while," said Lailah's
lunchbox.
"Imagine! I won't be eating
lunch for a month!" replied
Lailah with a twirl.
"I won't have to pack lunch
for a month!" said her mom
with a bigger twirl.
The year before,
Lailah had wanted to fast
with her best friends Hend
and Ishrat during Ramadan,
but Lailah's mom had
insisted she was too small.
Remembering that Lailah
stopped twirling.
She missed her friends.
