"My name is Salma, which means peace. Islam also means peace. I wish more people knew that." Salma is Muslim, an identity she takes pride in. But not everyone understands Salma's religion the way she does, including news reporters, and even a boy in her class, who bullies Salma for belonging to the culture and faith she loves. However, when things go too far, Salma says, "Enough is enough!" and finds the courage to defend herself while also spreading a message of peace. - HARPERCOLL
