MOMMY'S KHIMAR

Narrator Robin Eller delights with this charming story of a Muslim girl's close relationship with her blended family and supportive community. The focus is the significance of her mother's khimars. With a gentle voice that sounds like a smile, Eller creates a child's view of a day in one of these beautiful, flowing headscarves. This audiobook may be an enlightening listen for those unfamiliar with this cultural tradition, and Eller's youthful buoyancy creates a genuine connection to the universal appeal of childhood innocence and imaginative play. A medley of diverse music enhances the joyful mood, often filling pauses in the narration that listeners will especially appreciate if they are enjoying the picture book's cheerful illustrations. This is an engaging story, easily accessible to children and families of all backgrounds. S.A.A. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2020]
