I think that is the best thing about the book - showing the relationship of parent to child and how parents are there to help us learn to love and accept ourselves. They were quite compelling and empowering even for me and I don't have textured hair! I loved seeing the moms with their daughters showing them all the possibilities! My nephew enjoys his time with his mom as she also helps him learn to take care of his natural hair. He chose the color blocked spread to draw with the single girl with the long rope of hair. He loved the rhyming text and the bright poppy colors. Since he also has long hair like the girls I think he really related to the book despite the girls wearing dresses. My nephew just had to read this book with the little African-American girl on the cover! I actually quite love the art in this book.
