With 'Curls' And 'Glow,' Poet Ruth Forman Wrote The Books She Wanted Her Daughter To Read

'Poet Ruth Forman remembers her daughter coming home from preschool one day and saying something shocking. The young girl said that she wished she had straighter hair and lighter skin. This hurtful moment with her daughter led Forman to publish Curls, a poetry board book for Black children that encouraged them to embrace their identity, last December. The book includes colorful illustrations by Geneva Bowers.' -- Here & Now
