However, the thought of Soojin changing her name makes Amina question whether her identity is changing as well, and if so, their friendship.

Emily's mother bakes peanut butter cookies that are Amina's favorite and are a sign of their friendship.

- Music is a central theme of the novel as it is Amina's passion and her way of expressing herself, her "voice". She is afraid to play and sing in front of others, but throughout the novel her confidence grows and Amina discovers the power music has to not only express oneself but also to comfort and to unify.

It symbolizes the fight against all forms of injustice and bigotry, and Amina sings it with feeling and conviction.
