Mazahir's Marvelous First Fast

I was honoured to receive an ARC of “Mazahir’s Marvelous First Fast”. It is Astory that immediately joined my Ramadan and Eid collection.

Mazahir’s journey through her first fast is filled with warmth, honesty and determination. It captures the heart of Ramadan — patience, reflection and kindness — through the eyes of a child who simply wants to do her best.


As an educator in an international school I often meet children experiencing their first fast and teachers learning how to support them. This story is a gentle bridge — a reminder that empathy and understanding make all the difference.

Adults can support children observing their first fast by:
- Checking in gently and showing compassion
-Providing quiet moments for rest and reflection
-Celebrating effort over perfection
- Recognising signs of tiredness or thirst

I can’t wait to read this to my class in February during Ramadan. Available now on Amazon Kindle
