"Osos metaphors illustrate how Black hair tells the story of those who wear it; hair announces its wearers beauty to the world, be it cornrowed, locked, twisted, or curled...A stellar work that belongs in every collection serving young people." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An outstanding collaboration has created a title that will be shared by all. Filled with extraordinary art, this picture book is a necessary addition to shelves on culture, image-positivity, and SEL, in a wonderful ode to the beauty of Black hair." School Library Journal (starred review) Celebrate the uniqueness and beauty of Black hair in this poetic picture book that journeys through time, from stunning debut author Maisha Oso and NAACP Image Award nominee artist London Ladd of Black Gold. My hair is a book. Watch me open it, part it, take a look. Black hair has been telling stories for generations, from ponytails of ancient tribes and Nubian vibes to corn rows that mapped paths to freedom for enslaved Africans. There have been stories about dance with styles that twist and swoop and the sweetest stories of Cinna-buns and Afro puffs made perfect in the hottest kitchens. In each of these stories, one notion rings true: Black hair is everythingrich with history, a thesaurus, an atlas, and more, telling of truth, trials, and undeniable beauty. Maisha Osos powerful and uplifting text and London Ladds soul-stirring illustrations capture the remarkable nature of Black hair and remind us that whether it be curly, kinky, coarse, or straight, Black hair is beautiful.
