A joyous short story collection by and about Muslims, edited by New
York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed and Morris finalist S. K.
Ali  Once Upon an Eid is a collection of short stories that
showcases the most brilliant Muslim voices writing today, all about
the most joyful holiday of the year: Eid! Eid: The short,
single-syllable word conjures up a variety of feelings and memories
for Muslims. Maybe it’s waking up to the sound of frying samosas
or the comfort of bean pie, maybe it’s the pleasure of putting on
a new outfit for Eid prayers, or maybe it’s the gift giving and
holiday parties to come that day. Whatever it may be, for those who
cherish this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be
summed up in another short and sweet word: joy. The anthology will
also include a poem, graphic-novel chapter, and spot illustrations.
