The sequel to the acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Proudest Blue shows the power of friendship and kindness, from Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad. It’s picture day and Faizah can’t wait to wear her special red dress with matching hair ribbons, passed down from her mother and sister. Faizah’s teacher starts the day by asking her students to envision the kind of world they want, inspiring Faizah and her friends to spend the day helping one another in ways large and small. But when it’s time for sibling pictures, Faizah realizes that she and her older sister, Asiya, don’t match like her classmates do with their siblings. With help from her classmates inspired by Asiya’s hijab, Faizah finds that acts of kindness can come back to you in unexpected ways. From Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and fellow bestselling, award-winning creators S.K. Ali and Hatem Aly comes a heartfelt exploration of friendship, faith, and the joy of spreading kindness wherever you go. **Spend more time with Faizah and Asiya in The Proudest Blue , where the story starts; and The Boldest White , where the story continues! Review: A beautiful story about friendship ❤ - I got this book because my 4 year old daughter immediately loved The Proudest Blue (I loved it too!) & I was so excited to see another book by this author. This story follows the same sisters/family and is a real joy to read. The pictures are lovely & the message of caring for your friends & the gift of community building is woven in a unique & touching way. We read this one several times a week & I always look forward to it. A great book!!!! Review: Great book. - My toddler and I love love love this book.

Fantastic story!
I read The Proudest Blue to my fifth graders at the beginning of the year and was excited to see The Kindest Red pop up in my Amazon feed. I read it to my class the day after it came while we were discussing theme and evidence. It sparked a pretty deep (for 10 & 11 year olds) discussion about dreams, kindness, and creating the kind of world we want to be a part of.

Great Story, Bad Quality
The story of the book, like that of the first "The Proudest Blue", is very beautiful as are the illustrations. In contrast to the first book, however, the processing is really bad, especially for such a price. Yes, it's hardcover and thus the cover itself is much more stable, but the pages themselves aren't anywhere near as high quality as the first book, you have to be really careful not to tear anything when you turn the page, so I'm deducting two points. I'm always willing to spend money on books, but for just under 20 euros I've adjusted to the quality I'm used to. Too bad.
