Zuri’s hair has a mind of its own. It kinks, coils, and curls every which way. Zuri knows it’s beautiful. When Daddy steps in to style it for an extra special occasion, he has a lot to learn. But he LOVES his Zuri, and he’ll do anything to make her — and her hair — happy.
Why I like this book: this book bends stereotypes by having the dad help the young girl with her hair. Doing a childβs hair is something many families can relate to. This family happens to be Black.
