### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Work of Art and Heart
*by B***L on July 11, 2020*

This stunning picture book celebrates the beauty of the Muslim hijab tradition, the bond of sisters, and the strength to stand tall when bullied.Written by Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad, "The Proudest Blue" tells the story of two Muslim sisters attending school, the youngest watching with pride as her older sibling wears a hijab for the first time. Her pride soon turns to confusion when young Faizah witnesses other children taunting Asiya for looking different from themselves, for wearing what they mockingly call a "tablecloth." Faizah refuses to let the bullies diminish her pride, insisting on comparing her sister's hijab not to an inanimate tablecloth but to a strong, friendly, blue ocean in motion. She also figuratively joins her sister in wearing a hijab in the picture she draws of the two of them during class, then literally as she marches away from the schoolyard bullies, refusing to engage with them or allow their words to diminish her strength of identity. Asiya, too, stands resolute at the end of the day, smiling and strong, the two sisters even more bonded together than ever before.The illustrations beautifully reinforce the beauty, bonds, and strength emanating from the narrative. Illustrator Hatem Aly depicts the hijab with imaginative and emotionally evocative flair, giving it a life of its own. First filling the brilliant blue hijab with tiny clouds like a perfect day, then later bestowing it with the forward movement of irrepressible ocean waves, and finally wrapping it around the resolute face of Asiya with her unblinking eyes, Aly illustrates the hijab as a beautiful, unwavering presence in these girls' lives. That Aly refuses to grant the bullies faces on the page, but fills whole spreads with Asiya's countenance, denies hate even any pictorial power in this book. The connection drawn between the sisters--through hands held, footsteps in the other's shadows, and faces turned toward one another--comprise other attentive illustrative touches.This stunning book is a work of art that will not only mirror to its hijab-wearing readers their own internal strength but also present other readers with a humanizing portrayal of Muslim children and a compelling anti-bullying message.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent children's book

Beautiful illustrations and an inspirational story

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A LFL Hit!
*by C***N on January 14, 2025*

This book has been popular with my little free library! It has gone out and been returned a few times, but I have not seen it in a couple of months now. I am looking forward to seeing it again but if not, I take comfort in knowing that someone received this book and loved it too much to part ways with it!I am a catholic but thankfully, live in a pretty diverse community. My community includes those of the muslim faith and this book does a great job from child's POV. The book itself is about a young muslim girl who explains the hijab and what it means to her and how proud she is that her older sister is wearing her hijab for the first time and of course it is on a school day. It is not an intense book and does not quote scriptures. It is a proper children's book that articulates this first time experience including fears, excitement, coming of age, adoration, and being visibly different in some ways from others. I appreciated the book and apparently so do the members of my community.
