* "Memorable and inspiring.... Triumphant and true." Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "A lovely blend of emotional lyricism and closely observed everyday life." Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "Aly's ink-wash-and-pencil illustrations settle and soar along with the language....

Booklist, starred review

* "This excellent story about identity, visibility, and confidence, touches on rites of passage, bonds between sisters, and bullying and is unapologetic in tackling misconceptions and demanding equality." School Library Journal, starred review

Product Description

The sequel to the acclaimed The Proudest Blue shows the power of friendship and kindness, from Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad.

It's picture day and Faizah can't wait to wear her special red dress with matching hair ribbons, passed down from her mother and sister. Faizah's teacher starts the day by asking her students to envision the kind of world they want, inspiring Faizah and her friends to spend the day helping one another in ways large and small.

But when it's time for sibling pictures, Faizah realizes that she and her older sister, Asiya, don't match like her classmates do with their siblings. With help from her classmates inspired by Asiya's hijab, Faizah finds that acts of kindness can come back to you in unexpected ways.

From Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and fellow creators S.K. Ali and Hatem Aly comes a heartfelt exploration of friendship, faith, and the joy of spreading kindness wherever you go.
