Summary: In Mauritania, young Lalla yearns to wear a malafa like her mother and sister. She learns it's more than a symbol of beauty or tradition—it's a testament of faith. When Lalla understands this, her mother wraps her in a malafa as blue as the Koran's ink, and they pray together. Will Lalla's new understanding change her view of her culture and herself?
