Children's Book on the Hijab Puts Muslim Girls in Spotlight

Associated Press

   ST. CLOUD, MINN. - Children want to see characters who look like them,
   said Hudda Ibrahim.

   Last year, her niece Fatima asked why books don't have characters like
   her.

   "I said, 'I'll do it. I'll fix it,'" Ibrahim said.

   In April her children's book came out under the title, "What Color is
   My Hijab?"
