  • Sweet Book for Children WITH fathers. Otherwise maybe avoid :(
Format: Hardcover
I love the book, but maybe should come with a trauma trigger warning. I just wish it was only about hair love instead of what a great dad this girl has. My son’s father won’t even speak to him because he’s gay. I got the book to honor his hair and his blackness, but it was a shock to feel so alienated while reading it because the focus was placed on the father. And the end reason for loving her hair is not it’s uniqueness or beauty, it because her hair “is daddy.” I ended up trying to spin it as an example of how he can be a good father to his daughter one day. It’s the best I can do. Needless to say, my idea of supporting his self-esteem and identity kinda backfired with this particular story. However, it was a really sweet story, and I do actually understand why she says that he hair is mommy, daddy, and me. It’s just a story more suited for “traditional families,” over single-parent families, or LGBTQ+ that may not have a dad, or may have two moms, or two dads, etc. ... show more

  • Awesome book to help little girls build self-esteem
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book after I saw its short film won an Oscar, my daughter is biracial, I am Hispanic and my husband is Black, she has a full head of beautiful curls, as a 7 year old she has been telling me that she wants to have "straight hair like you mommy". I wanted to find a way for her to know that her hair is beautiful the way it is, the book has different styles that Zuri's dad helped create, both have a hard time but together they are able to create a beautiful hairstyle. I am delighted to see that my daughter is able to see herself in this beautiful little girl and is learning to love herself the way she is. I would definitely recommend it for little girls. ... show more

  • The Power of Two Words
Format: Hardcover
I often found myself looking across this book whenever I saw. What did I know? I thought this was just another kids’ book about loving oneself and being proud of one’s African American heritage. Little did I know that there was more to the story. Fast forward to last week’s Oscars and the animated version of the story wins for Best Animated Short. Wow!!! Now, my interest is really piqued. It is time for me to get my hands on this book. Yes, Hair Love is empowering. Yet, it is so much more. The combination of Matthew A. Cherry’s words and Vashti Harrison’s illustrations are simply amazing!! We see a beautiful and young Zuri embrace the strength and beauty in the different looks she possesses, depending on her hair style. (My favorite is the superhero with the Afro puffs). But, I truly felt the tugs at my heartstrings when Zuri and Daddy are working on her hair. It reminds me of when my husband used to “do” my daughter’s hair. There was a bond that developed there that I could never compete with. Cherry’s work not only shares and depicts a relationship between a father and his daughter, he shows the love of one family—the father, mother and child—as well. Bravo. ... show more
