🎁 The best gifts come from the heart. Give your students the gift of WADJDA, the delightful story of a convention-defying Saudi girl whose heart is set on the impossible goal of getting a bicycle, from Saudi Arabia's first woman director Haifaa Al Mansour. It's a great film for grades 6-12 & also for watching as a family!
