Bookroo's summary

Chris loves his curly hair, but classmates' teasing makes him question himself. Seeking answers, his mirror reveals a mysterious lady with empowering advice. As Chris embraces his newfound confidence, he must learn to balance self-love with humility. Will another visit to the mirror help him see beyond appearances and celebrate true identity? Discover a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and acceptance.

From the publisher

The bestselling illustrator of I Am Enough brings to life the story of a boy whose mirror gives him a whole new way of seeing himself. Chris loves his long, curly hair, so why do his classmates tease him about it? When he looks for answers in his mirror, something wonderfully wild and weird happens: a lady appears with wise words that make him feel like a king! But when he starts acting like a king at school, it’s time for another visit to the mirror. Actor Marchánt Davis’s uplifting picture book debut encourages us all to look beyond hairstyles–reminding us that styles come and go–and to celebrate one another for who we are. #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Keturah A. Bobo’s stunning art brings Chris and his mirror to vibrant life.
