But before she was an Olympian, activist, and entrepreneur, Ibtihaj was a young outsider trying to find her place. <p/> Growing up in suburban New Jersey, Ibtihaj was often the only African American Muslim student in her class. When she discovered and fell in love with fencing, a sport most popular with affluent young white people, she stood out even more. Rivals and teammates often pointed out Ibtihaj's differences, telling her she would never succeed. Yet she powered on, rising above bigotry and other obstacles on the path to pursue her dream. <p/> Ibtihaj's inspiring journey from humble beginnings to the international stage is told in her own words and enhanced with helpful advice and never-before-published photographs. <i>Proud </i>is an all-American tale of faith, family, hard work, and self-reliance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Proud (Young Readers Edition)</i> </b><b>A New York Public Library Best Book of 2018</b><b><br></b>"Engaging...Muhammad's ability to face down multiple challenges will doubtless be inspiring to young readers."--<i><b>The Washington Post</b></i><br><br>* "eye-opening...[Ibtihaj] Muhammad's story is an inspiring one that will encourage readers to question what it means to be American."--<i><b>Booklist, starred review</b></i><br><br>* "Fencer and Olympic medalist Muhammad pens an eminently readable account of her childhood through her win at the 2016 Rio Olympics in this must-have memoir."--<i><b>School Library Journal, starred review</b></i><br><br>* "Readers who are already fans of [Ibtihaj] Muhammad will love her even more, and all readers will gain much inspiration from this heartfelt memoir of a true American hero.
