About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with their hair or starts noticing that they look different from their peers. It is a vital resource for building positive self-image and cultural pride from a very early age. The story follows a young girl named Keyana as her mother combs and styles her hair, transforming a potentially fussy routine into a moment of deep connection and creativity. While the book celebrates various hairstyles like buns, braids, and afros, its true emotional core is the bond between parent and child and the celebration of heritage. It reframes self-care as a joyful exploration of identity. For Black children, it provides essential representation, while for all children, it offers a window into the beauty of diverse textures and the loving rituals that make us who we are.
