This beautiful book shows many different Muslim women (including a white-appearing woman, representation which I have not seen before) wearing hijab and relaxing at home and not wearing hijab. This is a great book to start a conversation about hijab or to answer questions from young children who might be curious about what's under a woman's hijab. An author's note at the end explains reasons why Muslim women might choose to wear hijab and that some observant Muslim women choose not to wear hijab.

A great resource and a celebration of hijab! Pair with THE PROUDEST BLUE by Ibtihaj Muhammad.
