About this deal

Although most kids in their class are struggling to understand, Faizah and Asiya are proud of what the hijab represents in their Muslim faith and culture. With themes of bullying and religion, it’s a great book to read to your class in school or your children at home. If I go by how it was for me as a reader, and my interests, I would say 4 stars, I liked it, but if I can imagine an audience of hijab-wearing girls, I would say definitely 5 stars. Both refer to having experienced misunderstanding and hurtful behaviour from others and they convey their shared recognition of the importance of sharing positive stories and role models with other young people, encouraging pride in those who wear the hijab and greater understanding in those who don't.

Faizah's actions show that she is unnerved by the hurtful questions and reactions of other children at school. Sixth-grader Asiya reaches the age to begin wearing a hijab, and her little sister Faizah is so proud. The way the story weaves history, culture and religion together without it being negative in any way is a thing of joy. K. Ali, illustrated by Hatem Aly, and published September 10, 2019 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. It is a precursor of what is to come in a beautifully-penned and vibrantly illustrated read by Ibtihaj Muhammad.Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap. Estaba buscando un libro de un autor musulmán, y he aqui que me encuentro con este libro , de una ganadora olímpica , activista, y que usa hijab. The story is told from the perspective of younger sister Faizah, an imaginative and ebullient child, full of pride and admiration for her sister's strength and beauty in her new blue hijab. The Proudest Blue is the simple story of a girl choosing her first hijab and wearing it to school for the first time, accompanied by her adoring little sister.

A celebration of religious freedom, there is no reason to be ashamed of your faith in this first day of school stories about sisters, Asiya and Faizah. I wanted to read about how she became the first hijabi Muslim girl fencer, her beginning, and why she chose that sport, was she angry?The color blue is symbolic of Asiya’s pride— “a hijab of beautiful blue fabric, like the ocean waving to the sky. This is an excellent book about identity and self-confidence for young readers who can see themselves in Asiya or know someone like her and essential for Empathy collections. Hatem Aly (Illustrator) Hatem Aly is the illustrator of many books, including the Newbery Honor Book The Inquisitor's Tale. Other kids don't understand, but Faizah is proud of the strength and beauty of her hijab and the way that it represents their Muslim faith and culture.
