Auntie Sophia’s samosas are legendary: crisp, golden, and filled with flavour that could make you weep with joy. But while she’s cooking for the mosque iftar, her mischievous cat Serrano is cooking up trouble.

When one super-spicy samosa slips past Auntie and into her belly whole, the masjid iftar turns into a comedy scene of epic proportions.

Beautifully written and illustrated books! Ruqa-ya's Bookshelf has filled a huge void in our community by bringing Muslim children's books with moral values that children actually enjoy reading and listening to.

One of my favorite books to read with my son. This book has brilliant rhymes and humor. I also appreciate the onomatopoeia that's highlighted. Delightful story and illustrations.

My 8-year-old loves reading it and my 3-year-old asks for it every night. He references the book by reciting his favorite line: Fire, fire! Fire in my belly! The rhymes are fascinating for young readers and the plot is attractive to toddlers and preschoolers. So, whether they're reading it or listening to it, the kids (and adults) will be entertained!

Funny. Perfect gift for the niblings.

My children LOVE this book! We have laughed so hard while reading this together. This is also an excellent book to share with others outside of our faith. It talks about Ramadan without being ”too religious”. I sent this to my daughter’s second grade classroom for the month and she told me that it’s consistently the first book that everyone wants to read during free time. She shared that it has also helped to facilitate conversations at school about foods we eat and our family’s traditions. We are so grateful for this book and cannot recommend it enough!

I have 3 boys- ages 3-8. They loved the book. We read it, it’s funny and rhyming. I catch my older 2 rereading it to the preschooler. Today we even made samosas from the recipe in the back for the first time. It was delicious. My eldest even attempted to make his own pepper sauce just like the main character.
