I Love My Hair


Title: I Love My Hair!
Author: Natasha Anastasia Tarpley
Genre: Multicultural
Summary: Every night before she goes to bed, Keyana, an African American girl, sits down between her mother's knees to have her hair combed. But no matter how gently Mama pulls, it still hurts sometimes! Keyana doesn't feel lucky to have such a head of hair--until Mama reminds her of all the lovely ways her wonderful hair can be fixed.
Characters: Keyana, Keyana’s mother
Setting: Keyana’s house, school
Plot: N/A
Theme: Self-confidence
Opinion: I really enjoyed reading this book because it showed that you need to be happy as to what you look like. Keyana was not confident because she looked different, but children must know that even though everyone looks different, it’s okay to be different from others.
