"In this gracefully told story, a young African-American heroine celebrates her lovely head of hair as part of her heritage."--Publishers Weekly "Tarpley's I Love My Hair! celebrates the positive self-image and cultural identity of African-American girls, and [this book] does the same for boys... Lewis's delightfully fluid watercolor illustrations get everything just right. The book is filled with cheerful and loving scenes of home and community..."--School Library Journal "What Natasha Anastasia Tarpley did for the mother-daughter bond in I Love My Hair! she now does for father and son..."--Publishers Weekly Praise for I Love My Haircut!
