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

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. 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

About the Authors

Ibtihaj Muhammad is a fencer and the first Muslim American woman in hijab to compete and to win a medal for the United States in the Olympic Games. An activist, speaker and entrepreneur, Ibtihaj has written a memoir, Proud, and inspired the first hijabi Barbie in her likeness. Her first picture book, The Proudest Blue, was an instant New York Times bestseller.

S. K. Ali is the award-winning author of Saints and Misfits and Love from A to Z and the coeditor of an upcoming Eid anthology. She and her sister visited hijab shops every year before the first day of school to choose their proudest colours.

Industry Reviews
The ideas of being strong, fearless, and family are not new, but the setting is fresh. The colors are strong, the details simpler, but not simplistic and the pride of the character comes out. I enjoy that all the books are diverse and fencing is used, as that is not usually seen in children’s books. […] — Cannonball Read
