My Hair Is My Friend

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 Naomi demonstrates the passing down of hair care knowledge for generations.Both Myrce'tez Gowan-Perkins and Danielle Arrington 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.
