The appearance of a child's hair affects their self-image, self-esteem, and identity. This light-hearted, educational, beautifully illustrated book is a page by page reflection of the ages and stages of hair throughout a kids life and into adulthood. In black culture, hair unfolds who you are to the world, and it is a form of self-expression. "Your Hair is Your Crown" implants a positive message into the minds of children about their hair and its importance from birth to old age.
