DEEP IN THE SAHARA (PICTURE BOOK)

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0375870342/planetecom-20
 
Deep in the Sahara by Kelly Cunnane and Hoda Hadadi. Beautiful story about a Muslim girl in Mauritania who will be allowed to wear the malafa (head covering) once she understands what it truly means. Recommended by The PlanetEsme Plan.  Link for information; please support your local independent bookseller.

Hi!
The melafa is the whole garment worn by Mauritanian women. It's all one piece of cloth--sort of like a sari. This is a lovely book, by the way!
