האפשרות לתלמידים לבחור ציטוט או סצנה מועדפים מהספר מאפשרת להם לבטא אילו חלקים בסיפור הדהדו איתם ברמה האישית. באופן זה התלמידים יוצרים חיבור טקסט לעצמי המדגים את הבנתם את הדמויות ואת התפתחותן או את נושאי הרומן. התלמידים יכולים לשתף את לוחות הסיפורים שלהם לאחר מכן ולקיים דיון קצר על משמעות הציטוטים עבורם.

Jude begins wearing her hijab after her first period. It is a time she has been anxiously waiting for and she is very excited about this special rite of passage. Her parents and Layla's parents treat it as the momentous occasion that it is. Her teacher Mrs. Ravenswood also makes her feel welcome and accepted. However, Jude feels that no matter how much she explains to Aunt Michelle that it is her choice and she is happy about it, Aunt Michelle is still skeptical. In a heart-felt moment in the story, author Jasmine Warga conveys Jude's feelings of pride in wearing her hijab and her wish to dispel the misunderstandings surrounding the Muslim custom in a beautiful and moving way.

""You look beautiful no matter what", Aunt Michelle says, "but I hope you know it is your choice.""
