Description

Princesses with head wraps take long naps.

Princesses with curls wear pearls.

And princesses with teeny-weeny afros wear teeny-weeny bows.

Debut author-illustrator Sharee Miller's board book celebrates different shapes, textures and styles of black hair, from dreadlocks, to blowouts, to braids (and more!), shining a spotlight on the beauty and diversity of black hair with playful, colourful illustrations and an endearing text with great read-aloud quality.
