This is me. Wearing my turquoise hijab. Drawn by the girl with the bangs in her eyes (see post below).
Part my collection of hijab as interpreted by children (non-muslim), circa school year 2007-2008. I love the way she got the draping in front – of my heart, apparently. I also like the sidestep I’m doing and the way the skirt flounces out.

Ahh, so adorable! That blue hijab is impecable. I work with kids (not as a teacher) and one four year-old said to me, “are you Indian?” And I said, “no, why do you say that?” And she said “because Indians wear that” (pointing to my hijab).
At the end she wanted to give me a hug. But I gave her a high-five, since we’re not allowed to give hugs anymore
Awww bless her. It’s like you’re dancing or Skiing on one ski!
That looks very anime-ish. It’s the big eyes. This is the first time I’ve seen a hijabi anime character!
I used to have bangs that went down to my eyes, but not when I was in 2nd grade. More like less than a year ago…
Asmaa, i find sidesy hugs effective in tearful situations – u know, just a “I-know-you’re-sad” gentle side hug.
lallamona, you’re right about the skiing!
hasan, have you ever seen ninjabi comics? here: http://www.ninjabi.com/cast.php
I went to it a long time ago but totally forgot about it! Pretty cool stuff.
You look funny! Your students seem to be endless store of surprises.
