Praise
Two acclaimed creators have teamed up for an unqualified and unapologetic ode to Black hair. . . . In rhyming verse, Weatherford pays tribute to the textures, styles, and intricate patterns of Black hair. . . . Accompanying Weatherford’s potent words, Holmes’ stunning collage illustrations, in a plethora of textures, colors, and patterns, accentuate characters’ beautiful brown skin. . . . A breathtakingly gorgeous book that no reader should be without.

Boston Weatherford pens a lyrical ode dedicated to the CROWN Act movement in this visually stunning celebration of African hair and heritage.
—Publishers Weekly
“Writing in mesmerizing verse, Weatherford sings the praises of cornrows, ’fros, Bantu knots, and more styles, conjuring up images that Holmes captures with her eye-catching digital collage art.”
