4.0
3.5 / 5
tw - islamophobia, racism, assault, ptsd
cw - islamophobic assault, trauma, non supportive family members, intergenerational trauma
okay. with the cover, i thought the book was a nice an happy story about nisrin's hijab and how she decided to read it. to be fair, i hadn't searched much about the book. i saw it, i thought it was cute and immediatly ordered it.
in the very first pages we face nisrin and her friend, firouz, being assaulted by a racist and islamophobic white man. from there nisrin faces the hospital, the trauma and ptsd.
everything is so negative and she is not in a good and safe environment. she decides to wear the hijab without real knowledge of what's behind it but will learn. nisrin is a strong young lady and stands up for herself when everyone is so brutal, mean, islamophobic and not really supportive.
this graphic novel was very interesting. the art is great ! the story in itself is pretty trigger (at least it was for me, a muslim hijabi woman of color) but i was nice to see nisrin's environment and the people surrounding her change and improve.
