Although Keyana dreads the pain of getting the tangles combed from her hair every night, her mother helps her see that her hair is also a blessing because she can wear it in cornrows, braids, an Afro, and many other wonderful ways. Expressive watercolor paintings fancifully interpret the different styles and highlight Keyana's face as it goes from wincing to reflective to joyous.
