Love My Hair!

By: Natasha Anastasia Tarpley

 I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the illustrations. This book is very contemporary and very realistic. This book makes a clear and deliberate effort to represent and speak to a cultural minority in the context of children’s literature It does so through the illustrations and through the nature of the story, yet the story itself is about everyday life. I think a main message is pride, but it is done in a very subtle and understated way.
