A powerful, vibrantly illustrated story about the first day of school--and two sisters on one's first day of hijab--by Olympic medalist and social justice activist Ibtihaj Muhammad.With her new backpack and light-up shoes, Faizah knows the first day of school is going to be special. It's the start of a brand new year and, best of all, it's her older sister Asiya's first day of hijab--a hijab of beautiful blue fabric, like the ocean waving to the sky. But not everyone sees hijab as beautiful, and in the face of hurtful, confusing words, Faizah will find new ways to be strong. Paired with Hatem Aly's beautiful, whimsical art, Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and Morris Award finalist S.K. Ali bring readers an uplifting, universal story of new experiences, the unbreakable bond between siblings, and of being proud of who you are.

Powerful Little Book
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this book so much that I have the kindle version and the paperback. Sometimes its hard to pray or I don’t know how to pray but I can grab this book and chose the topic I need in that moment. If I am out an about then I pull it up on the kindle app on the phone or iPad. It can be used daily to start your day. Lady’s she even includes a decree/prayer for energy and to keep our hormones balanced!!! It’s the very first decree/prayer in the book. For the end of the day there are decrees on restful sleep and visions and dreams from God. You can start your day with this book and end your day with it. Anything that pops up during the day that overwhelms you then this book probably has the decree you need in that very moment.
I really enjoy that it is written in such a way that I am not praying alone but praying in agreement with others. Where two or more agree on anything it will be done (paraphrased Matt 18-19) I can almost hear Brenda praying these with me sometimes. There is something very comforting knowing that you are not praying these alone.
This book has also helped/encouraged me to start writing my own scripture base decrees.

I highly recommend this book. If you aren't sure how to pray a PRAYER for a specific area in your life or a loved ones life. This is the book for you.
Format: Kindle
I rated it 5 stars because thru my whole life there have been situations PRAYER was needed. I didn't know how to word them. I would just say GOD please help or save my family members, pets, friends, neighbors and myself. From death, hurts, harms and from the enemy. I glorify and thank GOD for this book of decrees. There might be about 100 decrees. Each section is the title, the decree Brenda and others prayed for and are anointed by GOD, scripture from bible, then word of encouragement that gives you examples or what to do. In the word of encouragement it tells you how to decree it for yourself. So it's 2 decrees at the same time. The one Brenda an others prayed for and the one you decree yourself in JESUS name. AMEN. Remember where more than one pray for the same thing, believe it and it's ours. I will continue to read a few each day. It fills my soul with cheer and joy. GOD bless you. GOD is good. He created this decree book thru his servant for me and others who might need guidance in how to pray and decree.
