Little sister Faizah watches her big sister, Asiya, pick out a hijab for the first day of middle school -- the first day Asiya will begin wearing hijab every day. Pink, like their mother wants? No; Asiya wants blue, so her hijab meets the sky. Then the first day of school comes, and Faizah watches with pride as Asiya handles it with grace, despite some taunting.This book was utterly charming! The illustrations are beautiful, with great expression and colors. Faizah's admiration for and belief in her big sister make for a terrific story. And Asiya sets a heartwarming example for her little sister, so Faizah will know how to carry herself when her first day of wearing hijab comes, as well.
"Asiya's hijab isn't a tablecloth.
Asiya's hijab is blue.
Only blue.
