What Color is My Hijab? is a children's picture book inspired by a question the author's elementary-school aged niece asked her. The little girl wanted to know why there weren't girls who look like her well represented in children's literature. Now there are. This book features Muslim women who work in a number of doctor, teacher, artist, politician, etc., all wearing their colorful hijabs.

Offering a unique insider's perspective, this book explores the lives and culture of the Somali community in Central Minnesota, highlighting their significant challenges. It serves as an essential resource for a diverse audience, including students, healthcare professionals, business owners, and social service agencies, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of Somali culture and the experiences of its people.
