FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Eid al-Adha   A dventure

JENNIFER OXLEY
+ BILLY ARONSON

It’s Eid al-Adha, a very special holiday for

Yasmina and Amir, who invite their friends Peg
and Cat to check it out. After they all rock
out with some singing, it’s time to head to
the celebration, where there’s so much food
waiting! Amir explains that an important part
of celebrating Eid al-Adha is dividing the meat
into three equal parts, one third to be shared
with someone who has less. But with all three
bowls of meatballs holding different amounts,
they’ve got a BIG PROBLEM! Thanks to a
balancing scale, a trip to a soup kitchen, and
an unexpected visit to a housebound neighbor,
Peg and Cat learn all about the concept of
taking from where there’s more and giving to

where there’s less. Even Cat discovers how

awesome giving can be. Eid Mubarak!
