Kindness shared across a school day

On picture day, Faizah arrives in a red dress and matching ribbons passed down from her mother and sister. A classroom invitation to imagine a better world leads her and her friends to look for ways to help one another. The day also brings a moment of comparison: for sibling pictures, Faizah notices that she and her older sister, Asiya, do not match like some of their classmates. With her friends’ support, Asiya’s hijab becomes a point of inspiration, connecting the book’s themes of faith, friendship, and kindness with Faizah’s experience of belonging among her peers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in picture-book stories about friendship and helping others
  • Families seeking a children’s story that includes Muslim faith and hijab
  • Readers familiar with Faizah and Asiya from The Proudest Blue

Book overview

The sequel to the acclaimed New York Times bestseller 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 bestselling, award-winning creators S.K. Ali and Hatem Aly comes a heartfelt exploration of friendship, faith, and the joy of spreading kindness wherever you go.
