AbstractHistoryArchive Description
This book centres on an Australian girl, Zehra, whose father was born in India. Each year the family celebrate Eid-ul-Fitre (or Eid); a celebration to mark the end of Ramadan which is a period of fasting. Zehra's family celebrate Eid in Australia but one year they go to India to share in the festivities with her Dad's family. Zehra likens Eid to Christmas as there are cards, presents, money and lots of eating. Zahra explains the differences between her cousin's wedding in Hobart and another cousin's wedding in India. She also relates her experiences when she attended school in India.
