Not Now, Noor! - Penguin Books UK

Farhana Islam was born and raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne and is currently residing in Birmingham. Farhana is a Primary School Teacher with a passion for telling stories and empowering diverse voices. Not Now, Noor is her debut picture book. All children deserve to see themselves represented in books and this will not only do this for young Muslim children, but it will also open up conversations for all children which is so important to encourage tolerance, understanding and kindness. Being non-binary has never been a problem for 11-year-old Jamie – until secondary school looms, and the only two options are the boys’ school or the girls’. Suddenly Jamie and their friends find themselves protesting from the rooftops. Will Jamie ever find the place they belong? A sensitive, moving 9+ story about fighting for acceptance and change. This gutsy, vivid, gruesomely humorous retelling of the seminal Irish myth is perfectly judged for folklore addicts of 8+, with text heightened by brawny, satisfying illustrations. When Noor asks the women in her family why they wear hijabs, no one will tell her – until her ammu gives her the answers she is looking for. Lively, curious and full of fun, this warm, sweet picture book is steeped in love and pride.Quite a few women in our family wear the hijab. So this is a lovely book for my little one to learn a bit about the hijab and why some of the women in our family wear it.
