Wonderful book for children celebrating the uniqueness of African American hair. Not only is the story great but the illustrations are beautiful.

Keyana, an African-American girl, explains all the different ways she can do her hair. This book is incredibly empowering for girls with natural Black hair.
I would use this book in my classroom as a simple story, or tie it in with social studies during studying civil rights. This book can not only be good for my Black students but for my students of other races and ethnicities as a form of exposure to other cultures. It's also a beautifully illustrated book that serves well as a fun story for enjoying reading.

A book that is a perfect example of why Rudine Sims Bishop's article about Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors is so important. Love your hair. Love your skin. Love who you are.

En bilderbok om afro tjockt hår - eller hur man nu benämner afrikanska folkets hår - för det är vad denna bok handlar om. Att afrikanska folket - afroamerikansk/afro europé mm. - ska vara stolta över sitt tjocka hår som kan vara svårt att tämja, men som man kan kreativt forma på alla olika sätt. Det finns speciella flätor, afro frisyren som ser ut som en boll/jordklot, rakt mm. Ja allt möjligt. Man ska vara stolt och glad över det, fast det kan göra ont att kamma ut det hela...
En fin bilderbok som jag "läste" via Netflix serien - "Bookmarks".

This beautiful story follows Keyana and her journey to love her hair. Each evening, her mother brushes the tangles out of her hair and reminds her that her hair is her heritage. The book explores different ways she can wear her locks, describing the way "braids at the top of Keyana's head become hoed rows of vegetables in a field behind her as Mama explains that she can ""plant rows of braids along your scalp, the way we plant seeds in our garden". Her mother explains that her hair also has historical value. Together, author and artist impart a message for all children about the importance of appreciating what they look like as part of who they are. This book reminded me of my nose, something I had been self conscious of for my whole life. My great-grandmother always reminded me that it was a European nose and that I should be proud of it. This book really reminded me of those times with her, and though she is no longer with me that memory of her lives on anytime I am dissatisfied with my nose. I remember what she would say to me.
