Een mooie prentenboek over een klein zusje die heel veel houdt van haar grotere zus. En ook erg trots op haar is omdat deze vanaf nu een prachtige hijab draagt! We zien dat het niet altijd makkelijk is voor de zus (en ook het kleine zusje krijgt een of twee opmerkingen), maar dat ze zich dapper door alles heen slaat en ik was ook blij dat ze een groep vrienden had die er voor haar waren en haar steunden. Ik vond het lief en mooi geschreven en ik vond het leuk dat we niet de zus met de hijab volgen maar haar kleinere zusje!
De illustraties waren echt prachtig, vooral de kleur van hijab was WOW.

”Asiya’s hijab isn’t a whisper.
Asiya’s hijab is like the sky on a sunny day.
The sky isn’t a whisper.
It’s always there, special and regular.”


”Mama: Don’t carry around the hurtful words that others say. Drop them. They are not yours to keep. They belong only to those who said them.”

An Eid gift for my daughter from friends الحمد لله
A beautiful book to read to my daughter as she gets older. May Allah allow us to raise our children in the way that is most pleasing to Him أمين

I liked the artwork, and I think this will probably be an important book for an underrepresented part of our communities. It didn't speak to me very much, but I'm not the audience, and that is okay.

This was just lovely. My kids have read about [b:Ibtihaj Muhammad|33590790|Ibtihaj Muhammad (Olympic Biographies)|Katie Lajiness|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1541484322l/33590790._SX50_.jpg|54403864] and I'm excited to share this with them. A sweet sibling story about a younger sister going to school. She's excited about school, but even more excited that her older sister is wearing her first hijab to school. There are some questions by curious students, and a few moments of verbal taunting by those who don't understand what the hijab is, but the focus of the story is very much on the beauty of the hijab, and how much she looks up to her older sister.

Gorgeously bold and animated illustrations by Hatem Aly, and an author's note accompanied by photos of Muhammad and her own sisters finish out the tale.
