"An empowering picture book for the older preschool age set and loving yourself just as you are. In this case, the young protagonist learns to love her hair and different ways to style it."
"My older niece loves this book, all about a black girl who, as you expect, loves her hair.
She describes it in various poetic and imaginative terms - her hair can be like a globe, or be spun into a braid; it's curly like a vine winding into space; she likes to wear her hair in "ponytails like wings".
There are some unnecessarily didactic elements - kids at school teased her, so her teacher talked to them about having Pride in Your Heritage (a good concept, the whole book is about that, but that page wasn't so well-handled, I think), and her mother starts talking to her directly about how she's "lucky to have this head of hair" when she complains that haircombing *hurts* sometimes.
Also, some of the illustrations have odd perspective - I'm thinking specifically of one where she's going down the street with beads in her hair.
However, overall this is a really great book. And my nieces (aged five and 2.5) agree. They love reading this book."
