Noor's Heroes – Huda Kattan – Beauty, Bravery, and Belonging

 - Noor\'s Heroes
Published in the Noor's Heroes children's book series, this volume traces the life and career of makeup artist and blogger Huda Kattan.
As a child, Huda Kattan felt out of place and insecure. She had a big heart, stood up for what is right and loved makeup. She followed her passion and built a global beauty brand and continues to fight injustice, while helping others. Makeup can make anyone beautiful, but Huda Kattan reminds us that not everything we see is real
