Once Upon an Eid: Stories of Hope and Joy by 15 Muslim Voices
Par Aisha Saeed, S. K. Ali. 2020
A joyous short story collection by and about Muslims, edited by New York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed and Morris…
finalist S. K. Ali. Once Upon an Eid is a collection of short stories that showcases the most brilliant Muslim voices writing today, all about the most joyful holiday of the year: Eid! Eid: The short, single-syllable word conjures up a variety of feelings and memories for Muslims. Maybe it's waking up to the sound of frying samosas or the comfort of bean pie, maybe it's the pleasure of putting on a new outfit for Eid prayers, or maybe it's the gift giving and holiday parties to come that day. Whatever it may be, for those who cherish this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be summed up in another short and sweet word: joy.Snark!, the herald angels sing: sarcasm, bitterness, and the holiday season (Snark Series)
Par Lawrence Dorfman. 2011
Bah! Humbug! It's that time of year again. Time to spend too much, drink too much, eat too much, smile…
falsely, dig down deep to try and find "good cheer," battle crowds, try to find parking in over-crowded lots, ignore surly clerks, bartenders, waiters, valets, and parking lot attendants, all in the pursuit of that moment of happiness known throughout the world as--dun, dun, dun: the Holidays. Has there ever been a time more suited to tapping into snark? With commentary, jokes, and quotes regarding Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year's; on bad presents, worse in-laws, horrible children, and much more glorious excess. UnratedThe best Eid ever (Families all matter)
Par Asma Mobin-Uddin, Laura Jacobsen. 2007
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 everMerry Christmas, everywhere! (Holidays Everywhere! Ser.)
