This is such a sweet book. Perfect for any kid feeling like a part of them is not perfect just the way it is. I can think of my of my students who need this book. There’s so many families who need this book. I could not put it down. It’s fantastic.

This made me tear up 🥹 I have been on this kind of hair love journey and have witnessed it in so many others. The author perfectly captured the way hair appearance can be deeply ingrained into families over generations. The art was adorable and the story was well thought out. My only drawback was that I wish
Marlene’s mother challenged her family’s commentary on her daughter’s appearance. That feeling of dreading seeing family members because of what they might say, was so relatable for me and I wish there was some follow up to that.
