Nasser

Nasser is about a 13-year old Dutch girl from Moroccan descent named Nassira. Nassira’s friends call her Nasser because she feels different than other girls. Nassira acts like a boy and she dislikes girl stuff. When Nassira has her first period, her mother thinks it is time to behave like a young woman but does Nassira feel the same way?
