 A Latinx girl and her Black friend bemoan the extra care their natural hair takes – and its inability to be straight, shiny, and flowy. It’s only with time that they come to embrace their hair. 

Not my favorite natural hair picture book. Try Hair Love, My Hair is Magic, or Oona for lovelier hair celebrations.
