About this resource
Noor loves her mum and the other hijabi women in her family, but she has one important question: Why do they wear headscarves?
Could they be hiding snacks underneath? Are they secret spies protecting their identities? Full of curiosity, Noor asks each woman in her family, but everyone seems too busy to answer. Eventually, her Ammu helps her understand the meaning behind the hijab.
This funny, warm picture book celebrates Muslim women, family love and curious children. It introduces the hijab in an accessible way while encouraging questions, cultural understanding and positive Muslim representation.
