When Faizah's sister, Asiya, wears her hijab to school for the first time, Faizah thinks she looks just like a princess, and can't wait to wear a hijab of her own.
Not everyone at school is accepting, or kind, when they see Asiya's hijab, but Faizah knows just how special both the hijab, in it's beautiful blue, and her big sister are.
This picture book is a wonderful celebration of diversity and sisterhood. The imagery in the words is lovely and makes this a joy to read.
It is filled with beautiful artwork that would make wonderful prints. I will definitely be on the lookout for more stories illustrated by Hatem Aly.
The Proudest Blue is written by Ibtihaj Muhammad and SK Ali, and illustrated by Hatem Aly
