Book Review-

Ibtihaj Muhammad.

Peachtree Educator, Miss Callie, and her three-year-old daughter, Luna, share a book review of “The Proudest Blue.” One of our favorite books we have recently been reading before bedtime is The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family by Ibtihaj Muhammad. The values demonstrated and illustrated in this book are powerful and create opportunities for conversation with our daughter, Luna, that we feel are essential to the foundation of her character. It is so important to value the differences in other people and learn about why people do what they do and how that makes them special. The central issue in “The Proudest Blue” is the older sister wearing a hijab to school for the first time. It allows our daughter to see a strong, proud, confident female and how she reacts when others don’t treat her compassionately. The clear bond between older sister and younger sister is also compelling, as the younger sister wants to be just like the older sister. Our daughter looks forward to this book and is able to relate to being unique, how to treat people, how to react to other people when they don’t treat people well, and how important family is.
