The book review says that the book:
Takes on... hair! "Hair
for hands to touch and play! Hair to take the gloom away." This rhythmic
read-aloud is, on the surface, all about hair: nappy, plaited, long,
short, natural, twisted, "soft like cotton, flower petal billowy soft,
full of frizz and fuzz."
Comb through the surface and find a celebration
of childhood and girls and the freedom to express individuality. The
rituals implied in the book are rooted in the traditions of hooks's own
childhood, when "doing" hair was just as much an excuse for girls to
laugh and tell stories and just be together. Going still deeper is the
much-needed message encouraging girls to love and accept themselves (and
others) just the way they are.
