This Academy Award winning creator shares a story that is exactly what the world needs. It features family, love and appreciation for loving ourselves as we are and big hair too. It’s a special day for Zuri. Her thick tangled hair needs to be styled extra pretty for today. She loves her hair even when it has a mind of its own. Braids and beads make her feel like a princess and afro puffs a superhero. With dads help she could have the best hair-do ever. The first, second, third and fourth attempts were a disaster. But, reaching out to the internet because knowledge is power, they find just what they need. This heart felt story shares empowerment, family love and hair love. Young readers will see the power of motivation and determination, not just with hair but with keeping a family together. Imaginative and colorful illustrations share the obstacles and the triumphs of a girl dad helping his daughter. Parents and teachers can use this tool to discuss black hair, culture, styles and even hair care.
