Oh, no! Amira finds a school flyer on the fridge that says Eid Day is going to be school picture day too. Amira seems so sad and frustrated to even think that she would not be able to make it picture day. If she was not in the class picture, she believed that her friends would forget her!

However, Amira knows that there will be mehndi on her hands, a glittering dress to wear, prayers, and celebrations at the mosque on Eid day which would make her going to school rather impossible. 😌

What would Amira do? Would she be able to go for the picture day? Read on...

🌙 Amira's conflicting thoughts are portrayed excellently with her face reflecting mixed emotions like excitement, happiness, sadness, and surprise.
