This book is great for intermediate and primary ages. This book talks about the importance of a hijab and how much she appreciates her sisters confidence. I really loved that she goes to talk about how the Hijab is very significant to her family and how she will be so proud and confident to wear a blue hijab some day.

I really like this book. I think it is perfect for any age of elementary school students. I think it is a beautiful and encouraging story. I think this can be very inspiring for young girls who are Muslim or any religious affiliations.

As a Muslim, reading this story really brought me joy. Asiya and faizah represented confidence and all though asiya was judged by her classmates for wearing the hijab, she overcame the struggles and was proud of her religion.

"Muhammad, Olympic medalist for the U.S. fencing team, presents a memoir emphasizing the role of sports in her life.

Muhammad, a black, Muslim American who grew up in New Jersey, was raised by loving, supportive parents in a stable home. Her parents had many expectations of her and her siblings, one of which was that they would always participate in a sport. Some readers know the general story of how Muhammad finally picked and stayed with fencing—a sport in which she could wear the team uniform without compromising the modest attire required of her faith—but there are surprises in the details. Muhammad’s experiences in schools, in sports, in social situations, and in national and international competitions include moments of joy and exhilaration as well as many periods of isolation and self-doubt. The honesty in her writing makes it easy to connect with her journey, so that even readers who are not interested in the details of fencing will want to keep going to see how she made it all the way. Her dedication is impressive, and the many other people populating the pages of her memoir create a portrait of what it takes to make a champion. Readers who are already fans of Muhammad will love her even more, and all readers will gain much inspiration from this heartfelt memoir of a true American hero.

Like Muhammad herself, this book is a timely gift to us all. (glossary, interview) (Memoir. 10-18)" Kirkus Starred Review, www.kirkusreviews.com
