Mommy's Khimar by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow

4.0

So wonderful to see some Muslim representation in the pages of children's picture books! For that reason alone, the book stands out, but the charming illustrations and story elevate it still further. I love how the book explains the different names it goes by ("khimar" or "hijab") and also being informative about how khimars are removed in the evening and some people choose not to use them. Yet those are just naturally woven in with the story without feeling didactic. Highly recommend adding this to a diverse picture book collection.
