"In these loving portraits, Hena Khan and Aaliya Jaleel follow the women in one Muslim community at work, school and home. At the doctor’s office, Mama wears a white coat and a bright pink hijab; at home, she braids her long hair and rolls up her sleeves to garden. Under My Hijab celebrates women who are collectively as vibrant and varied as the headscarves they choose for themselves. (For ages 4 to 8)"
