Munevver means light or enlightened, and it is a traditional name in Muslim countries, such as Uzbekistan and Turkey, where she is from. She will be reading Ramadan Kareem with students and discussing her research process.

Ramadan Kareem Fantastic, festive, and vibrant. Yuksel’s refreshing take centers children’s experiences during Ramadan and the holiday that follows it, Eid al-Fitr. Descriptions of the children’s hunger pangs, their relief at breaking their fast, and their gratitude for their blessings perfectly capture their perspective. The author emphasizes sensory experiences, such as the smell of kofta, the sound of the call to prayers, and the cozy feeling of curling up on Abuela’s lap to read the Quran.-Kirkus Reviews.
