Curls

A joyfully poetic board book that delivers an ode to African American girls and the beauty of their curls.

This simple, playful, and beautiful board book stars four friends who celebrate the joy of their hairstyles from bouncing curls to swinging braids.

“PreS-K–Blooming with luminous painterly forms, this story of four young Black girls getting ready for the day shows a pure pride in their various hair textures, colors, and styles. Rather than phrases, carefully selected words make up the text and highlight each girl’s natural beauty and a supportive friendship.”
