Hair Dance!
CCBC Review:
A joyous and poetic homage to African American girls’ hair features brightly colored pages framing bold photos of proud girls and their hair. Different colors, different textures, different styles, and different accessories are ways in which hair makes an individual. At the same time, the words and photographs communicate the message that hair is a unifying part of African American heritage. The smiling girls on these pages show that hair is definitely something of which to be proud. ©2007 Cooperative Children's Book Center
