Personalised Ramadan iftar book with grandparents: your child Visits Grandparents for Iftar

What happens in your child Visits Grandparents for Iftar

1. Your child carries a covered dish to Grandparents’ house as evening falls.
2. Grandma and Grandad welcome your child at the door, where lanterns glow in the window.
3. Relatives arrive, greet one another and gather around the table.
4. Your child helps carry small bowls as the family gets ready for iftar.
5. After the meal, your child listens to family stories and takes home a warm goodbye hug.

How the first page could read

Your child held the warm dish carefully on the walk to Grandma and Grandad’s house. Through the window, little lanterns glowed beside the curtains. “We’re nearly there,” said Mum. Your child could already smell something tasty, and wondered who would be waiting around the table.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

This gentle family story gives your child a familiar role: carrying something helpful, greeting relatives and finding a place at a busy table. It keeps the focus on the small, recognisable parts of a Ramadan evening at grandparents’ home—the doorstep welcome, warm food, lantern light, shared conversation and helping after the meal. The narrative leaves room for each family’s own routines, while offering useful prompts for talking about who comes to iftar and what they enjoy bringing. Designed for ages 3–7, it uses clear, reassuring scenes and can be made into a 32-page personalised picture book, illustrated from one photo of your child.

Reading it together

• Before reading, ask your child what dish they would like to carry to a family meal.
• Pause at the table scene and invite your child to spot familiar foods, people or helpful jobs.
• Afterwards, let your child draw a picture of a meal they enjoy sharing with their grandparents.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour gives the family home, food and evening lantern light a warm, gentle feel. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
