The Lovereading comment:

Shortlisted for the Marsh Award for Children's Literature in Translation 2013      Little Hamda wants to wear the veil, like her big sisters, but it's up to her to find her own special way and prove she's grown up, just like her sisters.  Perfect for reading aloud and sharing with children, this Early reader chapter book has a delightful story and is complemented by bright, funny pictures on every page together with a lively design which makes them hugely appealing.  They’re perfect for children from 5-7...

Retold by the author of the Tiara Club series.

Synopsis

Hamda feels left out. She wants to be like her four sisters. One evening she makes a decision, and nobody can change her mind. She wants to wear the veil like her sisters. Each sister puts forward her own suggestion based on what worked for her. But it is up to Hamda to work out her own unique way to wear the veil making it a part of her active and happy life.
