Deep in the Sahara by Hoda Hadadi, Kelly Cunnane
5.0
Young Lalla wants to wear a malafa, a covering some Muslim women wear in Mautitania to cover themselves when they go out in public. Lalla thinks the malafa is beautiful, mysterious, to look like a long ago queen,to belong like the older girls and women. It isn't until Lalla realizes the most important reason for a malafa that she is given one.
The colors are amazing in this book, so bright and vibrant. Deep in the Sahara is a beautiful coming of age story for a young girl to understand the importance of the colorful malafa that all the women around her wear and it's significance to their faith.
This is a wonderful book for introducing why Muslim women cover themselves and gives respect to them for making the choice.
