| Summary | "After Cali realizes that her natural hair doesn't listen to a thing she says, she decides to take her older sister's approach to treat her hair like a friend with kindness, love, and care. This uplifting story shines an unfiltered light on the frustration that many children with ethnic hair have and provides a positive, whimsical spin on embracing and celebrating hair. The sibling relationship between Cali and her older sister Blair demonstrates the passing down of hair care knowledge for generations. Both Myrce'tez Perkins-Gowan and Danielle Anderson pulled from their own experiences with hair acceptance while creating this book in hopes that children will befriend their hair and embrace positive self-talk earlier in life"-- |
