this really made me smile. all my life i’ve had really curly hair that my parents didn’t know how to handle so i’d get braids up until i started middle school and was straightening my hair every month causing so much damage that i thought i’d have to do a big chop. thankfully, i didn’t have too and and i’m almost two years into not relying on straightening my hair. i loved that her dad did her little puffs, twists, and even gave her a little afro <3
We saw the animated short of this before another kids' movie earlier this year. It is super cute and endearing. The illustrations in the book are great and kept my son's attention throughout. He remembered the movie so predicted the ending of the book. :)

I read this to the little ones today and I enjoyed it. I think it’s on the older side for them, so even though they may not have completely understood it, they did pay attention from start to finish. They all have heads full of hair so I want to make sure they learn to love it, as early as possible. Also teaching them we don’t use the phrase, “Good Hair” or the word, “Nappy” in our house.

This is so sweet and lovely. I love all the subtext and the relationships between the family members, as well as the message.
I know why this book keeps getting banned but... seriously, stop banning books with loving messages like this one. Just read it. <3
