This Eid, Aneesa should be happy. But, her parents are thousands of miles away for the Hajj pilgrimage. To cheer her up, her Nonni gives her a gift of beautiful clothes, one outfit for each of the three days of Eid. At the prayer hall, Aneesa meets two sisters who are dressed in ill-fitting clothes for the holiday. She soon discovers that the girls are refugees – they had to leave everything behind when they left their native country to live in America. Aneesa, who can't stop thinking about what Eid must be like for them, comes up with a plan – a plan to help make it the best Eid holiday ever. School Library Journal says: \"[A] beautifully composed story. . . . This is a welcome contribution, giving much-needed visibility to a celebration observed by over ten million people in North America.\" And Library Media Connection says: \"After reading this book, children will have a greater appreciation for the Muslim culture and will have no problem realizing that love is an action word.\"","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781635925692","publication_date":"20220405","publisher":"Astra Publishing House","slug":"the-best-eid-ever","subtitle":"Paperback – Picture Book, April 5, 2022","title":"The Best Eid Ever"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JUV030130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"JUVENILE FICTION / Middle Eastern & Arab American","score":0.8711,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV017200","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Holidays & Celebrations / Ramadan","score":0.8477,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV033270","confidence_band":"high","label":"Muslim Children's Stories","score":0.8468,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JUV030130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"JUVENILE FICTION / Middle Eastern & Arab American","score":0.8711,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV017200","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Holidays & Celebrations / Ramadan","score":0.8477,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV033270","confidence_band":"high","label":"Muslim Children's Stories","score":0.8468,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JUV013030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Multigenerational Families","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV017090","confidence_band":"high","label":"Holidays & Celebrations / Other, Religious","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030130","confidence_band":"high","label":"JUVENILE FICTION / Middle Eastern & Arab American","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"JUVENILE FICTION","score":0.8711,"slug":"juvenile-fiction"},{"label":"Holidays & Celebrations","score":0.8477,"slug":"holidays-celebrations"},{"label":"Muslim Children's Stories","score":0.8468,"slug":"muslim-children-s-stories"}],"reader_fit":["For young readers learning about Eid and Muslim traditions"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Shifa Saltagi Safadi"],"book_id":"9780823455652","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780823455652.jpg?v=837658fe4e064e5f","score":0.8382,"title":"The Gift of Eid","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780823455652"},{"authors":["Rukhsana Khan"],"book_id":"9780593706817","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593706817.jpg?v=04d3f61875956f03","score":0.8169,"title":"Rabia's Eid","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593706817"},{"authors":["Aaliya Jaleel"],"book_id":"9781419769528","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781419769528.jpg?v=7471b38e06af6880","score":0.8005,"title":"Eidtale (an Abrams Trail Tale)","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781419769528"},{"authors":["M.
