A Story of Hijab and Family

By Ibtihaj Muhammad and S.K. Ali Pictures by Hatem Aly
Faizah is practically bouncing with excitement on the first day of school. She has a brand new backpack and bright shoes that light up. But the most exciting part of the day is seeing her older sister, Asiya, wear her first hijab. The fabric is a brilliant blue, swaying brightly like the ocean meeting the sky. When they get to school, not everyone understands Asiya's beautiful blue hijab. Some children point and use confusing, hurtful words. Faizah feels sad, but she watches her sister walk tall and proud. Through Asiya's quiet strength, Faizah learns how to ignore unkindness and carry her own head high. This gentle story shows you how to find courage when others do not understand you. It is a wonderful celebration of sisterhood, standing up for what you believe in, and being incredibly proud of exactly who you are.
