Summary

The third and final book in the bestselling series celebrating hijab, family and kindness following The Proudest Blue and The Kindest Red.

Description

The highly-anticipated sequel to The Proudest Blue and The Kindest Red, a NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES which explores sisterhood and kindness, from trailblazer and Olympic medallist Ibtihaj Muhammad.

Bravery grows in your mind, but takes root in your heart.

Friday is Faizah's favourite day of the week – on Fridays she prays together with her family at Jummah and then she goes to fencing class. When nobody's watching, Faizah is the best fencer in the world. But there's a tournament coming up just before Eid, and with everyone watching, Faizah is worried she won't be brave enough to compete. Can her big sister Asiya help Faizah find a way to be her boldest self?

An important and uplifting story about faith in religion, in family, and in yourself: to be bold in order to lead, to help, and to grow.

Praise for the series: 'A ground-breaking picture book about religion, sisterhood and identity.' WATERSTONES 'A beautiful and powerful story about the bond shared between siblings and being proud of yourself and your beliefs.' BOOKTRUST

Critic Reviews

"Little readers who struggle with confidence or anxiety will be inspired by how, with love and support, Faizah finds the strength to lean into her courage" The Irish Examiner
