This book is great for intermediate and primary ages. This book talks about the importance of a hijab and how much she appreciates her sisters confidence. I really loved that she goes to talk about how the Hijab is very significant to her family and how she will be so proud and confident to wear a blue hijab some day.
I really like this book. I think it is perfect for any age of elementary school students. I think it is a beautiful and encouraging story. I think this can be very inspiring for young girls who are Muslim or any religious affiliations.
