Review:
It’s a special day for Zuri. Her thick tangled hair needs to be styled extra pretty for today. She loves her hair even when it has a mind of its own. Braids and beads make her feel like a princess and afro puffs a superhero.
With dads help she could have the best hair-do ever. The first, second, third and fourth attempts were a disaster. But, reaching out to the internet because knowledge is power, they find just what they need.
This heart felt story
shares empowerment, family love and hair love. Young readers will see the power
of motivation and determination, not just with hair but with keeping a family
together. Imaginative and colorful illustrations share the obstacles and the triumphs
of a girl dad helping his daughter. Parents and teachers can use this tool to
discuss black hair, culture, styles and even hair care.
