A first day of school shaped by family and identity

Faizah’s first day back at school coincides with an important milestone for her older sister, Asiya: wearing hijab for the first time. When others respond with hurtful words, Faizah must make sense of what she hears and find her own way to stand strong. The story brings a child’s view of religious identity together with the closeness between sisters, making family support part of the book’s central subject. Hatem Aly’s illustrations accompany the story, which is written by Ibtihaj Muhammad and S. K. Ali.

Book overview

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!A powerful, vibrantly illustrated story about the first day of school--and two sisters on one's first day of hijab--by Olympic medalist and social justice activist Ibtihaj Muhammad. With her new backpack and light-up shoes, Faizah knows the first day of school is going to be special. It's the start of a brand new year and, best of all, it's her older sister Asiya's first day of hijab--a hijab of beautiful blue fabric, like the ocean waving to the sky. But not everyone sees hijab as beautiful, and in the face of hurtful, confusing words, Faizah will find new ways to be strong.

Paired with Hatem Aly's beautiful, whimsical art, Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and Morris Award finalist S.K. Ali bring readers an uplifting, universal story of new experiences, the unbreakable bond between siblings, and of being proud of who you are.
