Some even call her sister rude and mean words. Faizah thinks that her sister looks like a pretty princess in her headscarf, but during the day, she notices that not everyone seems to feel the same way.

For her first day of school, Faizah wears her brand-new backpack and light-up shoes, excited about the day's adventures.
