Advance Praise
Toddler-PreS–Afros, cornrows, and more are highlighted in this wonderful board book all about hair. Each page features a photo of a young Black child with the hair described in the spare text, while a mirror feature at the end encourages little ones to view their own hair. This celebration of natural hair is a first purchase. -STARRED REVIEW - School Library Journal, July 2020
"[This book] confirms the cruciality of minority children seeing themselves in stories. A book for all children’s library collections.”
–CM Reviews, Highly Recommended (4 Stars)
"My Hair is Beautiful celebrates children with all manner of skin tones and hair types, while also carrying an empowering message for families and children of colour, for whom wearing hair is both culturally significant and vital to form a positive sense of self." —Quill & Quire
