WILLINGBORO TWP. -- A 10-year-old township girl inspired to create more colorful hijab for preteens like herself is launching a business with her mother's help, Philly.com reported.

Amaya Diggins told the website that she had always worn the one-piece hoods made for children, but her mother, Ameenah Muhammad-Diggins, bought her a set of adult-size headscarves last year.

They were as big as a bed sheet, she told the website, and were only in drab colors.

Diggins, who is homeschooled, lamented that there were no smaller, brighter hijabs for girls her age. She and her mother commissioned their first order of hijabs that come in colors including cotton candy, bubble gum and sea green, according to Philly.com.

They're calling the business Hijabi Fit and they plan to sell the headscarves online.

They told Philly.com that if this first venture goes well, they may create long-sleeve, tunic tops for preteen girls as well. Now, many people have to order those garments from Britain or Turkey, Muhammad-Diggins told the website.
