The Proudest Blue : A Story of Hijab and Family

With her new backpack and light-up shoes, Faizah knows the first day of school is going to be special. Its the start of a brand new year and, best of all, its her older sister Asiyas first day of hijab--a hijab of beautiful blue fabric, like the ocean waving to the sky. But not everyone sees hijab as beautiful, and in the face of hurtful, confusing words, Faizah will find new ways to be strong.

Paired with Hatem Alys beautiful, whimsical art, Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and Morris Award finalist S.K. Ali bring readers an uplifting, universal story of new experiences, the unbreakable bond between siblings, and of being proud of who you are.
