Khadija and the Elephant Toothpaste Experiment
by Farah Qaiser (Author) Natalya Tariq (Illustrator)
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?
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….
“Salaam everyone, and Eid Mubarak!” she cries. “When I grow up, I’m going to be a scientist!”
