Ahmad's Hair

The shy Ahmad (12) is new in the Netherlands. He is a refugee from the war in Syria. Ahmad would love to make Dutch friends, but he doen’t dare to make the first move. Most striking about Ahmad is his long hair. It’s long for a reason. It’s his way of giving something back for all the help he and his family have received from the Netherlands. While Ahmad's hair grows, so does his confidence. Will Ahmad succeed in making friends in the Netherlands?
