This is a very important story that discusses culture and acceptance from peers. ( )

This book is about a first grader named Layla. She was new and was shy. Kids in her class would ask her about her head scarf and some of the boys would say that it looked funny. Layla got upset that they thought it looked funny. Some of the girls in her class stood up for her and then Layla got comfortable in her class.

This is a book that share with children the story of a new student that always wears a head scarf. kids learn how peoples differences make them unique and special. I love this book defiantly one I want to share with kids ages 3-6 classmate.

I really enjoyed reading this book and I think children 4 and up would understand this story a little more, it is about a girl that felt out of place because of her religion/ culture and once kids around her understood they all made sure she knew she's jut like them. ( )

great book for teaching children about differences. loved the depth and emotion in the writing.
