Ibtihaj Muhammad will be sharing and signing her new picture book, “The Proudest Blue,” a universal story of new experiences, the unbreakable bond between siblings, and of being proud of who you are. Ibtihaj Muhammad is a 2016 Olympic medal-winning sabre fencer and social justice activist, who is widely known for being the first Muslim American woman to wear a hijab while competing for the United States in the Olympics. “The Proudest Blue” tells the story of a young girl named Faizah, who is excited for the first day of school, which is also the start of a brand new year and her older sister Asiya’s first day of hijab. However, not everyone sees hijab as beautiful, and in the face of hurtful, confusing words, Faizah will find new ways to be strong. Ages 4 and older.
