(3) K-3 Illustrated by Camilla Ru. A young Black girl celebrates the beauty and versatility of her Afro-textured hair while exploring the deep connection she shares with her grandmother through their unique hairdos. Together, their hair tells stories of playful moments, memory, and Caribbean heritage. The lyrical text honors intergenerational love and pride in cultural identity. Big, bold, and colorful digital illustrations with vibrant patterns bring the story to life. A tender, joyful tribute to self-expression, ancestry, and the magic woven into every strand.
