Book 2, Hijab-Ez, Friends Forever!
In the Name of Allah, Most High
Rose has turned ten, and her dad has decided to put her in a new school, one with diversity. Rose is angry with her dad for pulling her out of her Christian Private school, where everyone wore a uniform and had the same belief. She doesn’t want diversity! But what’s diversity anyway?
On the first day at new school, Rose befriends a Muslim Egyptian called Camellia. Camellia wears a headscarf and is taunted by rude uncouth children about wearing a cloth on her head. One boy even attempts to pull the scarf of Camellia! Rose formulates a PLAN to support her friend, getting two new friends in the process; Ruby, a Vietnamese Christian just arrived in America and Christiana, an American Hispanic Christian. Who knew diversity could be so much fun?
The Hijab-Ez comes from ‘hijab’ and ‘Ez’ shortened from of ease. This is the name the four girls give their group, wearing handkerchief scarves to school to support the rights of their friend. The Hijab-Ez become famous and get an ovation for rescuing Ruby from the evil clutches of a bully and also help their fellow community, when they put a smile on their faces after a bad accident. Through their escapades, they continue ascertaining more interesting facts about Islam from Abdul, Fahd and Camellia.
