Does My Head Look Big In This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah

Amal is an Australian-Muslim-Palestinian. Who has decided to go full time. Which means wearing her hijab to her non-faith private school, as well as to the shops and the local teenage hangouts.

This book was insightful, and had lots of passages that would be useful teaching material! It's not just about Islam, it's also about how we all treat each other. Makes a nice change from other teenage girl books about sex and stuff. This one is more about friendship and families. Glad it's in the school library. Will need to encourage my students to borrow it.
