Aleena's Scarf

When Aleena is with her family she doesn't even think about her hijab except to choose a color that she likes. At school, the colorful scarf marks her as different and makes her feel like she doesn't belong. A chance encounter with our favorite military kid reminds Aleena that she is a part of a rich tradition of covering that runs across cultures and customs from one end of the globe to the other. We all struggle with issues of belonging and inclusion at some point. Join Aleena and Jamal on the playground as they take us on a full color walk through some of the most common covering traditions on earth. There is so much beauty in our differences. Still, sometimes we need a gentle reminder that we are not really all that different at all.
