Summary:

Review:
Yet another story showcasing the adventurous search for the crescent moon to mark the day of Eid. The story does not provide much insight about the religious holiday rather it focuses on the bond of the two young sisters. The older sister Lulu, comforts Sara while she is nervour being out in the dark looking for the moon. Their mother calls for them to finally come inside, Sara is disappointed that she hasnt been able to see it. Lulu takes matter into her own hands to cheer up her younger sister.
The story is adorable and relatable. It’s a refreshing angle to see that the thin crescent moon is often unable to be seen. This calls for a beautiful sisterly bond to spring into action.
Author’s note in the back gives minimal information about Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul Adha.
