Reviews
A Kirkus Best Picture Book
"Heartwarming ... A winning tale to be shared over and over." --Kirkus, starred review
"The information about fencing will intrigue, but the true message here is of gaining self-assurance and feeling pride in oneself... This will encourage standing up with confidence."--Booklist
"Rich, digitally enhanced ink and pencil illustrations beautifully evoke all the movements of fencing and the warmth in the community of which Faizah is a part. Fans of the previous titles will not be disappointed. A recommended addition to picture book collections." --School Library Journal
