By Crystal Swain-bates, Megan Bair (Illustrator)
A girl embraces her unique hair, defying stares and celebrating her identity.
Meet Lola, a spirited girl with big, curly hair that stands out at school. Despite the stares and challenges it brings, like losing at hide and seek, Lola proudly loves her hair. Her confidence and joy inspire others to embrace their own uniqueness. Will her infectious spirit change how others see themselves? Discover the power of self-love and acceptance in this vibrant tale.
Designed to boost self-esteem and build confidence in African-American and biracial children, this beautifully illustrated picture book encourages children of African descent to feel good about their hair, no matter how different it may be from other kids. Main character Lola has really big curly hair, much bigger than the other kids at her school. Although her big hair often causes kids to stare and sometimes her big curls cause her to lose at hide and seek, that doesn’t stop her from telling anyone who will listen just how much she LOVES her hair!
