This is a fun way to encourage children who wants to wear khimar. Like, it told them that khimar is not the thing that is forced on them to wear.

So wonderful to see some Muslim representation in the pages of children's picture books! For that reason alone, the book stands out, but the charming illustrations and story elevate it still further. I love how the book explains the different names it goes by ("khimar" or "hijab") and also being informative about how khimars are removed in the evening and some people choose not to use them. Yet those are just naturally woven in with the story without feeling didactic. Highly recommend adding this to a diverse picture book collection.

Did you ever play with your mom's make-up or clothes as a kid? Or even wearing dad's shoes? I would with my mom's perfumes and jewelry. This book beautifully captures that moment, that feeling, the pride, and that imagination that comes with it. Really has some beautiful illustrations.
I highly recommend this book ~Ashley

A little girl loves wearing her mommy's yello khimar. She loves looking through the closet at the many different colors and patterns of khimars. I googled the differences between khimar and hijab, and it seems that the khimar is meant primarily to cover the head, while the hijab is meant to cover the head/neck and reach the shoulders, etc. Also, hijab traditionally has more of a religious connotation than khimar does. The more you know!

Very cute and colorful. Doesn't explain the meaning of the scarf, but helps with appreciation.

I love this book for letting young Muslim children seeing themselves represented. But also because I think regardless of culture, many children go through a period of wanting to wear something of their parents. So seeing this can also help non-Muslim children see how similar we are. Which is an important thing for all of us to understand, and starting that nurturing of that early is important.
Even more than that, it’s just such a sweet story following a little girl and feeling her love for her mother.
