pickThis was a wonderful book focused on Sadia & 2 other Muslim girls, all immigrants to Canada. Mariam has started de-jabbing (changing clothes & removing her headscarf) at school, Sadia is set on continuing to wear hers even as it makes playing basketball more difficult, and Amira is a newly arrived refugee from Syria. Along with their classmates they deal with changing friendships and seeing a wider perspective through a class photography project.
