Not Now, Noor! is a wonderful, heartfelt celebration of Muslim women, of family and of identity which deserves a place in both homes and primary school libraries where its humour, warmth and gorgeous illustrations will delight young readers as they learn about the importance of hijabs. The book is funny and Noor's curiosity is charming. The characters in the book are very relatable and we couldn't help but compare them to our own family members. The illustrations are lovely, all the characters are so cute to look at. Using a vibrant colour palette of reds, yellows and purples, the beautiful artwork is full of emotion and movement. Noor’s facial expressions, from excitement to dismay, are brilliantly funny and work well alongside the text. The vibrant illustrations are just stunning and really capture the warmth and humour in the story as well as the closeness of Noor’s loving family. When Noor asks the women in her family why they wear hijabs, no one will tell her – until her ammu gives her the answers she is looking for.
