Eid al-Fitr celebrates the end of the month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. It literally means 'the festival of the breaking of the fast'. While Eid al-Fitr is celebrated all over the world, in most Islamic countries such as Egypt or Morocco, schools and offices close for around three days.

Biographical note

Laura Mucha (Author)
Laura Mucha is ex-lawyer turned award-winning poet and author. Some of her writing is funny (or at least she hopes it is . . . ), but some is serious and addresses important things that aren't always talked about. She often thinks about how we live and what we can do to make our lives, and the lives of others, a little bit better.

Her writing has won multiple international awards and been featured on TV, radio and public transport, as well as in hospitals, hospices, prisons, books, magazines and newspapers around the world. When she isn't writing, she spends her time visiting schools around the world and working with organisations such as UNICEF to try to improve the lives of children. She is also Author-in-Residence in the Department of Public Health & Primary Care, University of Cambridge.

Laura has travelled to every continent of the world (at least twice!) and now lives in London with her husband and son.

Hannah Tolson (Illustrator)
Hannah is a freelance illustrator currently based in Manchester, UK. She graduated from Falmouth University in 2013 and has since worked with a variety of publishers worldwide. When she's not at her desk with Murphy the Whippet snoozing by her side, she's probably pulling out weeds at her allotment, exploring the outdoors or under a blanket on the sofa (with Murphy snuggled in there too) planning and dreaming about their next trip away.
