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 β she prays 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 her 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
