Review Quotes: A warm holiday offering.
--Booklist (starred review)

Ultimately, the story is less about Eid traditions and more about the spirit of family mattering more than material items. Hence, this book has wide appeal outside the bounds of library holiday collections. A solid choice for libraries, especially those looking to expand their Arab heritage representation.
--School Library Journal

In a story that focuses on the strong emotional bonds that inspired the ill-fated gift-giving, the pair realize they have all the love they need.
--Publishers Weekly

A tender tale of love, sacrifice and hope.
