Summary:

Celebrate along with this little girl as she proudly proclaims the wonders of her incredible natural hair. People may ask, "Why is your hair so BIG?" But this girl knows it's because her hair is larger than life and can be so many wonderful things: magical and musical, soft and fearless, rich as her ancestral roots and deep as the Caribbean Seas. For those who already know it and for those who need to hear it, bold verse and vivid, fantastical illustrations trumpet the beauty of loving yourself in spite of criticism, and the power of confidently embracing what makes you special. -- Provided by publisher.

Summary

My Hair Is Magic!


This little girl knows her hair is great just as it is. When people ask, "Why is your hair so BIG?" she answers, "Why isn't yours?" Her hair is soft, it protects her, it's both gentle and fierce. While some might worry about how it's different and try to contain it, she gives it the freedom to be so extraordinary it almost has a life of its own. Told in bold verse and vivid, fantastical illustrations, these critical questions will ring familiar, and the proud, confident answers show that what really matters is how readers see themselves.
