Under My Hijab

* "This is a book that offers great representation and inspires readers to accept everyone just the way they are. A timely story that breaks down many stereotypes and negative feelings about hijabs. A perfect selection to reinforce religious freedoms and self-expression."

* "[A] warmhearted tribute to beauty in diversity and self-expression. Cheerful, rhyming verses complement a parade of confident women athletes, doctors, artists, and students, each donning a hijab as colorful and unique as the women themselves."

"A generous invitation by both author and illustrator to young Muslim girls to witness a variety of ways and reasons women wear hijabs. . . Cheerful, colorful images complement the affirming tone and message of this timely book."

"A window into the world of a Muslim-American girl and the diverse women in her family and community. . . Informative and genuine, the book offers much to learn about the settings and situations of hijab."

"Matter-of-fact approach accomplishes what it sets out to do: celebrate the diversity and autonomy of contemporary Muslim women."
