Booklist Review

Gutta’s debut picture book introduces little readers to a fashionista who absolutely loves styling her hijabs. To Hana, the more hijabs, the merrier: “Hana is an artist, and her hijab is her canvas.” She is so talented that she becomes her friends’ fashion consultant. But there are two problems—clutter and tardiness! Her ensembles are time-consuming, causing her to always be late, and her excessive collection is also taking up too much space. She launches an idea inspired by her aunt at the hair salon: she wants to help women feel beautiful. She promotes her “hijab-able” skills, giving away her “vibrant collection of hijabs and gems,” and it’s a hit! She’s never late when attending to her clients, resolving her punctuality and clutter problem. Mirza’s warm and vibrant artwork is highly decorative, with lots of patterns and embellishments that make every page a rainbow of fabrics. Kids who love fashion or aspiring entrepreneurs will appreciate this lively story. An appendix offers some more background about hijabs and the creators’ own preferred hijab styles. – Vivian Alvarez from Booklist
