Unibrow

Leyla is an Irani-Canadian girl with a complicated relationship with the Irani part– she does not want to speak Farsi at home to her mother and grandmother, she does not have any Irani friends, and she HATES her unibrow. In an attempt to get rid of her unibrow, Leyla accidentally makes things worst and now has to go to school with ruined brows! Fortunately the new girl at school, Sahar, offers to help “fix” her brows and invites Leyla to her home. Leyla cannot help but be intrigued by Sahar’s connection to Iran and her community, and feels her own world begin to grow bigger. She ultimately returns to her home and ends the day curled up next to her grandmother (Maman Joon) finally ready to listen and embrace the stories that she previously resisted.
