Ten Hungry Ramadan Hippos   

Working on Whimsy

Hungry Ramadan Hippo began as Ramadan mascot among friends, created by Sarina Bajwa. She secretly crafted the character who would mysteriously email our friend group with words of encouragement, fasting tips, and spiritual advice.

Fast-forward to years later, Sarrah AbuLughod began sketching the character and drafting lyrics to begin the journey to publishing a colorful children’s book series that celebrates friendship and champions the heart of Ramadan.
