This 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.

I really liked the story, I feel like it had a strong message. However, I think it was trying to do too much in the short amount of pages it had. There was a lot to deal with, and the author did an okay job. It all just needed a bit more to truly feel complete.

From debut author Maleeha Siddiqui , a modern spin on the Parent Trap trope. Funny and realistic characters and dialogue.

Torn between thumbs up and so-so. Zain just wants to play, but dad is too busy and wants him to slow down. A calm and community-oriented religious leader takes the time to let Zain participate, and no lessons are learned on this seemingly average Friday. Love representative picture books like this where kids can see themselves and their families. #Muslim #InclusivePicturebooks

I'm in a major reading slump. I can't think of what to read next, and I can't seem to finish what I start. I'm 50 books behind in this year's reading challenge. But my nephew is about to get a super comfy afghan whether he wants one or not. It's not the first blanket I've started, but I hope it's the first one I finish.

Ruthiella Definitely don‘t get hung up on the numbers! Do you listen to audiobooks while crocheting? 10mo
dabbe The afghan is gorgeous! I agree with @Ruthiella; ignore numbers. Maybe read something light. I usually go to my Peanuts or Mutts comics when I'm in a slump. Hang in there! 💙❄️💙 10mo
IndoorDame Finishing an afghan is major! (Ive never managed 🤣) You‘ll pick up a book that draws you back in soon enough. 10mo

mandarchy @Ruthiella good question! When I have access to Internet, I spend my time catching up on TV and forget to download books. Then when we have outages I kick myself for not getting a book. I'm right now looking at what to watch next and trying to think of something to get in Libby at the same time. This slump is stubborn. 10mo
mandarchy @dabbe I'm doing my best to ignore the numbers. I love Mutts! I just ordered a book by McDonnell for my students as a gift. They love his The Perfectly Messed Up Story 10mo
mandarchy @IndoorDame I have the new Winkler book on hold. I'm hoping Fonzie's voice helps. 10mo
Librarybelle The afghan does look super comfy! 10mo

Lion on the Inside: How One Girl Changed Basketball | Judith Henderson, Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir

4 ⭐ This is the true story about the first woman to play in the NCAA with a hijab. This book starts from her girlhood and how she always plays ball up to her college career and even trying to turn pro. But the pros had denied her because of the hijab. She fought to get the rules changed, and she won. This is an interesting book. The author chooses a strange way of telling the story. It has a unique rhythm and wordplay

LibrarianRyan that is not normally seen in a picture book. This isn‘t bad it‘s just odd. It was an interesting look at a real person who is making change not just for themselves but for other girls as well. 13mo
