«Per què tothom em mira això del cap?» is the young adult novel by Randa Abdel-Fattah, published by La Galera, SAU, in paperback (350 pages, in Catalan).
Amal, an Australian student of Muslim parents, decides to start wearing the hijab at school too. The novel follows her daily life amid the prejudice her choice arouses, the pressure to fit in, and her friendships, with an agile and entertaining tone that turns a delicate subject into an accessible read.
It is part of the Narrativa Singular collection, number 23. The translation is by Elisenda Borràs and the original English title is «Does My Head Look Big in This?»
Aimed at young readers aged 14 to 16 and at anyone looking for a realistic novel about identity, religion and teenage life.
Randa Abdel-Fattah is an Australian sociologist, lawyer and writer. She is an advocate for human rights, particularly for Palestinian people. Much of her work focuses on identity and what it means to be Muslim in Australia. Her debut novel, Does My Head Look Big in This?, was published in 2005. Her 2025 novel, Discipline, came to public attention after Abdel-Fattah was disinvited from the 2026 Adelaide Writers' Week, leading to a boycott by most of the scheduled participants and the subsequent cancellation of the event.
