Oh, this is darling! Zuri's hair "has a mind of its own. It kinks, coils, and curls every which way."* It's a special day and Zuri wants an extra-special hairstyle to celebrate, but Mommy's away so she enlists Daddy's help. Talk about an adorable daddy-daughter duo! (And why is Zuri's dad such a hottie? Props to illustrator Vashti Harrison.)

Hair Love is a heartwarming celebration of love and patience, self-confidence and self-expression.
Daddy tells me it is beautiful.
That makes me proud.
I love that my hair lets me be me!

In funky braids with beads,
I am a princess.

And when my hair is in two puffs,
I am above the clouds like a superhero.

My hair even does magic tricks.
One day Rocky and I were playing
outside when along came the rain.

From large to small it went.
Presto! Just like that!

There's nothing my hair can't do!*

Hannah Greendale (Hello, Bookworm) @Julie: Oh, yes! That book is wonderful. I haven't had a chance to read it cover-to-cover, but the illustrations are glorious. A wonderful recommendation!

Julie G Yes, as a young girl, I dreamed of having an afro (true story), so I delight in books like these. Clearly I never got the memo about white girls with Anglo Saxon hair and how an afro will never be in their future.
