The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family by Ibtihaj Muhammad

5.0

This beautifully illustrated story highlights how the first day of school wearing a Hijab may go in America. Interestingly, the story is from the perspective of the younger sibling who does not wear a Hijab yet but she sees some of what her sister is experiencing during the school day. While there are some harsh and mean comments, the older sister does not seem to care or let it effect her which I believe is a unique perspective in children's books. Usually, bullying causes a character to feel sad and alone but this character seems to ignore it and keep to her loving friends.
