George celebrates Ramadan with his friend Kareem. “A groundbreaking new book that also tries to span the cultural chasm for a new generation.” —The New Yorker George helps Kareem with his first fast and joins in the evening celebration of tasting treats and enjoying a special meal.

Finally, George joins in the Eid festivities to mark the end of his very first Ramadan.
