🌙 Ramadan: A Holy Month by Malik Amin, Debbie Rahmalia, and @penguinkids has been a wonderful addition to our bookshelf. With simple, engaging language and vibrant illustrations, it helped my daughter and me learn about the world’s biggest celebration for Muslims. #Ramadan #ChildrensBooks

3 years ago, I became a dad, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that parenting is full of surprises. Some days are exhausting, some are incredible, and most are a mix of both.

But one thing that has remained constant? The simple joy of reading with my little one each night.
