Layla's Head Scarf by Miriam Cohen

Layla's Head Scarf by Miriam Cohen

Layla, the new girl in first grade, is hesitant to participate in school-day activities because she is afraid that her head scarf makes her look too different from her classmates. But as the day progresses, and the curious first graders learn more about Layla's culture, they help to make her feel more comfortable in her new school.
