K-Gr 3–Hana has a collection of hundreds of beautiful hijabs, and she is always finding fun and creative ways to put together new ones and to decorate and coordinate them with her outfits. Everyone admires her style and creativity, although at times getting ready does make Hana late to class, and her mother is not always happy with so many of Hana’s hijabs and accessories around the house. When Hana sees her aunt Huda helping women at her hair salon, she gets a brilliant idea as she decides to share her beautiful hijabs and accessories with others. Lively digital illustrations show Hana’s lovely collection of hijabs as well as her vibrant creativity, and the Spanish text welcomes readers to Hana’s world in a fun and expressive tone that will have them smiling at Hana’s zest for life.
VERDICT First published last year in English, this beautiful Spanish version provides a look at Hana’s world and her collection of hijabs, as well as inspiration for readers to share what they love with others around them.
