Description
I can do this. I am brave. I am Jihad.
Jihad always used to be surrounded by a burst of colour, but grief has left her in an eternally grey world.
Joining a new school offers no respite, as her hijab and even her name make the other students suspicious.
Only new classmate Jamie seems truly kind, but it's hard for Jihad to trust anyone after what she's experienced.
As tension mounts, her only comfort is found in recreating the stories she's inherited from her mama in the pages of her sketchbook.
Can Jihad become as resilient as the real meaning of her name and let the colour back into her life?
A heart-wrenching story about finding your true identity from the author of the international bestseller As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow.
