In rural Afghanistan, young Obayda's life changes when her mother cuts her hair and dresses her as a 'bacha posh', a girl who lives as a boy to help her family. As Obayda experiences the freedoms granted to boys—playing in the streets and climbing trees—she becomes desperate to make this change permanent. Clinging to a local legend that passing under a rainbow can transform girls into boys, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and resilience. This poignant novel by Nadia Hashimi is a powerful exploration of gender roles and identity, suitable for readers aged 10 and up.
