Why read it?
1 author picked A Moon for Moe and Mo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it is the story about a friendship between a Jewish boy, Moses Feldman, and a Muslim boy, Mohammed Hassan.
The two boys meet at a neighborhood market, and they are mistaken for brothers. This leads to their families sharing rugelach, date cookies, and the holidays of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
I am recommending this book because it encourages friendship between people of different faiths.
