Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Khadija is inspired by her visit to the science fair. There are so many different scientists all wearing safety goggles and lab coats! But how come none of them are wearing a hijab?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After watching a scientist carry out the elephant toothpaste experiment, Khadija attempts to recreate it at home with mixed (and messy!) results. Surrounded by her family as they celebrate Eid, Khadija tries again\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSalaam everyone, and Eid Mubarak!\u201d she cries. \u201cWhen I grow up, I\u2019m going to be a scientist!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
