While he walked on the dim path next to the donkey carrying Zarin,Musa pondered his new fate. In the distance, the tall dark mountainsstood with their jagged tops, puncturing the blue-black sky. With afresh sadness, Musa reflected that on the Iranian side of the same highhillsthe town where he was born, got married, and ran into troublewith the secret policewas also waking to a new day. He figured that,for years to come, probably till he died, he would miss the place and itspeople as he would move farther away, in opposite direction, with moremountains and oceans in between, to separate himself from his home.As they climbed a knoll, Musa stopped to survey a cluster of mudhomes in a beehive-like village, surrounded by patches of brown wheatand barley fields, farther ahead. To his side, the donkey, with itshead down and the beads jingling, blinked its long eyelashes to keepthe unseen flies away. The tall plane trees, their tops touched by theglowing sun, stood solid like a wall. Somewhere in the still dawn, a manfrom an invisible minaret called the faithful to pray. A pair of hoopoesflew over their heads, heading east for the high hills. Musa watchedthem with a sudden longing. Excerpts from The Gravedigger.

For Muslim people around the world, Ramadan is a month-long time for prayer, fasting, and charity. This "month of blessing" is not viewed as a time of hardship but instead as a time to develop self-discipline and increase awareness of and compassion for the poor and the hungry. It is a time to deepen connection with Allah through prayer and community. For this much-anticipated month, Muslim people gather together in homes, shops, and restaurants to break their fasts and pray.Islam uses a lunar calendar, so the timing of Ramadan depends on the cycles of the moon. Ramadan lasts a lunar month: from new moon to full moon and back to new moon. Ramadan always begins on the first night of the new moon of the ninth month of the year. Because the lunar calendar's months are shorter than the solar calendar's months, Ramadan appears to "move" from year to year. As a result, fasting (no food or water) during the winter months is not quite so much a challenge as fasting during long, hot summer days.It is the custom to start the day with a pre-dawn meal called suhoor, then not eat or drink again until after the sun has set. That post-daylight meal is called iftar. Sharing these pre-dawn and post-sunset meals is an important part of community and family bonding, which is part of why Shirin feels a bit left out.Ramadan is as important to many Muslims as Christmas and Easter are to many Christians, and Passover, Yom Kippur, and Rosh Hashanah are to many Jewish people. Ramadan ends with a gift-giving celebration called Eid ul-Fitr, which means "festival of breaking the fast."Moon Watchers could promote conversations about:Sibling rivalryMaking ethical decisionsFood, culture, and religious holidaysLessons that can be learned from the experience of fastingThe role of the lunar calendar in Islam and other religionsDiverse family traditions and practices for holidaysFountas and Pinnell Level R
