“Pre-School-Grade 2: A young African-American girl describes the familiar mother-daughter nightly ritual of combing the tangles out of her hair. “In this gracefully told story, a young African-American heroine celebrates her lovely head of hair as part of her heritage.” Lewis’s soft watercolor illustrations perfectly accompany this sweet story of self-acceptance, empowerment, and hope.” Natasha Tarpley’s book attests to the rich heritage passed from one generation to another. “I Love My Hair! (Little, Brown) is a tender tribute to African hair and the bond formed between mother and daughter through the rituals of combing, parting, oiling, and braiding. This imaginative story is a celebration of the special relationship between mother and daughter, as well as the qualities that make each of us unique and beautiful. Though Mama is always gentle, sometimes getting her hair combed still hurts! To soothe her hurting places, Mama tells Keyana why she’s so lucky to have her head of hair and explores with her all the wonderful styles that she can wear.
Every night before she goes to bed, Keyana’s mother combs her hair.
