Book overview

A celebration of family tradition and natural hair, in this adorable rhyming board book!

 

Little EJ is so excited to join her mom and grandmommy for her first-ever trip to the hair salon. She wants to find a special hair style. But with so many options... how can she choose? Readers will love "trying on" hair styles alongside EJ, as she imagines herself in a variety of styles. Should she try afro puffs, with ribbons and bows? Or twisty spirals that tickle her nose? Luckily, Mommy is there to offer reassurance: "Your hair is curly, like clouds in the sky. It's beautiful no matter which style you try!"

With bright colors, bold and graphic artwork, and sweet rhyming text, this book is the perfect way to celebrate family tradition and Black hair with your little one!
