Any Way You Look
Om denne lydboken
When boys from her community start harassing her, Ainy needs to figure out how to get them to stop--while still staying true to herself.
Dress Coded meets Amina's Voice in this new middle grade audiobook by Maleeha Siddiqui.
Ainy is excited for summer! She plans on working at her mom's clothing boutique, having adventures with her best friend, and maybe even starting to wear the hijab--just like her big sister. But when certain boys from Ainy's Muslim community keep showing up at the store to give her unwanted attention, she goes from possibly wanting to wear the hijab someday to feeling like she needs to wear it to get the boys to leave her alone.
But wearing the hijab doesn't do what she'd hoped: It doesn't deflect the boys' attention at all! If anything, they've found something new to harass her about. With the help of her best friend and her older sister, Ainy must channel her inner creative strength and find the confidence to stand her ground and get the respect she deserves.
This is a compulsively readable, feminist, and thought-provoking audiobook about staying true to yourself by acclaimed author Maleeha Siddiqui.
