What to expect
Ameena feels invisible. Ever since she arrived at her school a few months ago, kids
look at her like she’s something strange. Is it because of the twists in her hair? Or
her brown skin?
Then, one day, there’s a new new kid in class. Ameena sees her. Sees her
brownness. Sees her hijab. Sees her in ways that the other kids do not.
Ameena wants to be her friend … but she doesn’t know how. She can’t seem to
find the right words … until one day, when they find those words together.
A moving celebration of friendship and sisterhood, Sister Friend shows the
importance of being yourself and the joy of finding friends who see your true
heart.
