Piece by Piece: The Story of Nisrin's Hijab by Priya Huq

4.0

This incredibly powerful graphic novel tells the story of Nisrin, a middle schooler in 2002 Oregon. After a violent, hateful encounter, Nisrin has to spend the summer healing both physically and mentally, and decides to start wearing a hijab in her everyday life. She soon faces pushback from everyone in her life, even her beloved mother and grandfather. The emotional and empathetic artwork really conveys Nisrin's struggles, and helped me connect deeply with her story.
