Eid al-Adha with Yasmin

by Saadia Faruqi, Debby Rahmalia (Illustrator)

Overview

It’s the morning of Eid, and Yasmin and her family are hurrying to get to the mosque to pray. But Yasmin can’t find her special outfit for the day—her new shalwar kameez. When the search turns up nothing, Yasmin is reminded that sacrifice, or giving up something special, is an important part of this Muslim holiday. She decides she will have to sacrifice and wear something else . . . or will she?
