Faizah relates how she feels on the first day her sister, sixth-grader Asiya, wears a hijab to school

Wonderbooks include headphone jack, external speaker, play/pause button, volume controls, and page-turning controls

The first day of wearing hijab is important. It means being stron. 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 - made of a fabric of beautiful blue, 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. Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad brings readers an uplifting, universal story of new experiences, the unbreakable bond between siblings, and of being proud of who you are. --
