Under My Hijab

Very nice book

Such a nice heartwarming story. Empowering for little Muslim girls and for boys alike to help understand the deen and hijab.

Great pictures, finally a quality Islamic book!

I bought this book for the hijabi representation, expecting my kid to enjoy it in a few years. But because of the rhymes and the realistic, everyday scenes, this has been a favourite since about 8 months old. Kiddo has gone through phases of being very into naming the different family members (grandma, auntie, etc), talking about the food on the bakery page, being interested in the messes and dirt on the gardening page, and wanting to look at the doctor's office page a lot after a doctor's visit. This has been in constant rotation for a year and going strong. Recommend!

Very cute story to normalize wearing the hijab. It goes through the main character’s family members and shows them wearing a hijab outside and then not wearing it at home. It doesn't really talk about religion or the meaning or importance of the hijab. But I think it’s a really nice book to help normalize wearing a hijab. I bought it for my 3 year old and she enjoyed it. She asked for a pink hijab like the main character on the cover afterwards :) It’s well written, illustrations are lovely and the quality of the book is nice. I’d recommend!

Beautiful story and even more beautiful illustration. You can literally feel that it was made with so much love. All those details, all those colours! An empowering book for girls who look for various role models!

Not islamically correct, ended up throwing it away, this is a “westernized” depiction of hijab.

Have you ever wondered how to explain hijab to little children? Maybe you are a teacher or pediatrician, etc.. maybe you have a lot of kids you know ask you about your hijab...or maybe you even want to explain to your own children more about hijab! This is the PERFECT book to do that! Whether children are Muslim or not, this book explains, in cute rhymes, that hijabi women can take off their hijab at the private space of their homes, and proudly wear cute and stylish hijabs out of their homes and in the various jobs they do! The illustrator did an amazing job with the pictures of the hijabs and I felt like I wanted to style my hijab like the women in the book❤️ This book debunks the stereotype that hijabi women are oppressed, and in fact shows that they are of all different types, pursue different careers, have different personalities, and even different color hair! In fact, my daughter especially liked the auntie with the pink hair
