Wow! This short, simple but powerful book is a must for every young Black boy. It is affirming! The illustrations are outstanding and perfectly fit for the message on every page.
Children will love the fun rhyming prose which features appropriate nods to cultural descriptions of style and fashion.

I’m Feelin’ this and Lovin’ It!
This is the cutest rhyming book I have seen in a while. The illustrations are very much relatable to this generation and so are the word selections! I laughed as I read it, because I could hear my daughter and her cousins saying these things! Talking about representation, the fellas will really be able to relate to this book by seeing themselves and learning to love themselves in their uniqueness! Very well done!

love the rhyming!
I had so much fun reading this book because of the rhymes. It flowed like a song!
I think it’s great the author wrote this book so Black children can feel proud of their hair and the various ways they keep it. It’s nice to see books that represent POC so children can see themselves and others are exposed to people of different backgrounds.
Great work!

Love that hair
I got this book for my daughter, who has very curly hair and sometimes wishes it were straight. It's an easy read story with a powerful message about loving the hair you have. The vibrant illustrations and rhyming text make it an engaging and enjoyable read for any child.

This is a great book that teaches kids, especially young black boys, to be proud and feel good about their hair, whether it be an afro, corn rows, mohawks or fades.
Kids will love learning all the slang words the author uses throughout.
