Booktalk #1 Faizah is so excited for the first day of school and it’s her older sister's first day of hijab. Asiya wears her beautiful blue hijab with pride but not all children are kind. The sisters find their strength in the love they have for each other. (Rhode Island Children's Book Award 2021) Booktalk #2 Do you remember how special your first day of a brand-new school year feels? For Faizah, it is a special day to show off her new backpack and light-up shoes. For her older sister Asiyah, it is the first day to show off a new blue hijab. A hijab is a veil worn by women in the Muslim culture, usually covering the head and the chest. “It’s the most beautiful first day of school ever…I’m walking with a princess.” At school, not everyone views the hijab as beautiful, and Faziah faces hurtful and confusing words about her sister. Will Faziah stay strong and find a way to teach others about a tradition that is so important to her family? (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2021-2022) |
