My Hair Is My Friend
My Hair Is My Friend
Hardcover – Picture Book, October 1, 2024
by Myrce'tez Gowan-Perkins (Author),
Danielle Arrington (Illustrator)
After Cali realizes that her natural hair doesn't listen to a thing she says, she decides to take her older sister's approach to treat her hair like a friend with kindness, love, and care.
This uplifting story shines an unfiltered light on the frustration that many children with ethnic hair have and provides a positive, whimsical spin on embracing and celebrating hair. The sibling relationship between Cali and her older sister Naomi demonstrates the passing down of hair care knowledge for generations.
Both Myrce'tez Gowan-Perkins and Danielle Arrington pulled from their own experiences with hair acceptance while creating this book in hopes that children will befriend their hair and embrace positive self-talk earlier in life.
