Noor Needs to Know! by Farhana Islam; Illustrated by Nabila Adani

May 21

Noor Needs to Know!
by Farhana Islam; Illustrated by Nabila Adani
Salaam Reads / Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

A precocious girl makes it her mission to find out why the women in her family wear hijabs in this heartwarming yet funny picture book celebrating Muslim women, curious children, and family love.

Noor loves her mum and all the other hijabi women in her family but wonders why they wear headscarves. Is it to hide snacks for later? Or because they’re super spies hiding their secret identities?

Full of curiosity, Noor sets out to find her answer, but her family are all busy and have no time to answer this important question. Just as Noor is ready to give up on her quest, her Ammu arrives home and knows just the thing to say to crack the case wide open.
