Review:

A cute little girl and her family have a nightly routine for their hair, except for Grandpa, he doesn’t have any. Each family member uses a different hair wrap depending on their hairstyle. Dad has waves, brother has locks and big sis has silky hair she swirls and wraps. When the little girl’s hair is braided and ready to be covered with her bedtime bonnet, she can’t find it. Everyone is frantically searching. Perhaps it could be found in the most unlikely of places? 

This beautifully illustrated story shares the love of family, culture and hair care. Young readers will be able to compare and relate to the hair care methods found within these pages. Parents and teachers can discuss culture and family. Beginner readers will find that the sentence structure and the words are easy to navigate.
