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

4.0

Even though Nisrin’s decision to wear a headscarf happens at the beginning of the book and happens fast, the reader catches up to the emotional journey she is on as a Begladeshi-American girl whose family does not practice Islam. It’s a complex issue because her Grandpa thinks headscarves are left over from an invader culture (Pakistan) and mom and Grandma don’t wear one. The best part of the book was Nisrin’s project about Bengladesh. I learned so much. If a bit uneven, this is an important purchase.
