Read the excerpts from Does My Head Look Big in This? and Persepolis.Excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This?:My best friends, Leila Okulgen and Yasmeen Khan, moved on to a public high school close to Coburg, where they live. I begged my parents to let me go with them but Mom and Dad insisted that I go to a private school. I tried everything.
