This month's online Highlights newsletter includes two Muslim pieces. One is a Ramadan Mosaic craft, the other a narrative about the daily Ramadan routine of one Muslim family in Oman.
Since I've edited a few children's books for Muslim authors who say that there are few markets who will publish works about or containing Islam, I thought I would share a link to "Hungry, Happy Ramadan."

Ramadan begins at the beginning of next month and will last approx. until the 29th of August.

New Additions to Our Home
Recently we welcomed two new ones into the family! No, I didn't have more kids...we adopted two kittens in need of a good home.Welcome to our home, Rosella (Zella) and Doggy!
Obviously, we let our children pick out the names. Our two-year-old insisted, laughing, that his kitty would be named "doggy." So we let it be. Who knows, maybe a future picture book?
We're having a great time with our new furry friends, and I enjoy the late-night companionship when I'm writing or curled up with a book. We'll see how I am in a few weeks when it's time to remove hair from the couches...
Do you have pets? Are they named for other animals? Or did your children come up with other creative names for them? I want to hear! Post your comment by clicking below!
