A book that embraces the beauty and fullness of Black girls' hair. But, furthermore, it is a book that shows the love and care between a young girl and her daddy and how he makes her hair important and meaningful for her. Zuri's ability to know what she wants by speaking up and being confident is such a great quality to have in a young child.

My favorite part of course is Zuri explaining all the different ways her hair can become. When she is out having a tea party with Rocky, she tells the readers that her hair can "do magic tricks." However, if you're familiar with Black girls and their hair then you know her hair has been shrunken by the rain that has drenched her curls. Zuri is so aware of her hair and how it shapes her.

I think every little Black and Brown girl needs to see this type of interaction before they become a tween because it gives them the confidence and strength to know how powerful their own body, including their hair, can be. It helps to knock out any contention "society" attempts to throw at them about Black hair. I enjoy how Zuri knows her hair has versatility and power with every braid, puff, or twist. Zuri not only loves herself, but loves her hair, too.

If you and your children like audiobook, then I'd also consider this audio because it is narrated by a Black girl with big confidence Blu Ivy. It was a pleasure to read this one.

Thanks @libby, @dreamscape_media, and @randomhousekids for the ebook and ALC access.
