By M. L. Marroquin, Tonya Engel (Illustrator)
A girl embraces her extraordinary hair, challenging perceptions and celebrating self-identity.
A young girl proudly embraces her unique, big hair, answering curious questions with confidence. Her hair is both her shield and her strength, defying attempts to tame it. Through bold verse and vibrant illustrations, she challenges societal norms, celebrating her identity and encouraging readers to see beauty in their own uniqueness. Will her self-assuredness inspire others to embrace their true selves?
This little girl knows her hair is great just as it is. When people ask, “Why is your hair so BIG?” she answers, “Why isn’t yours?” Her hair is soft, it protects her, it’s both gentle and fierce. While some might worry about how it’s different and try to contain it, she gives it the freedom to be so extraordinary it almost has a life of its own. Told in bold verse and vivid, fantastical illustrations, these critical questions will ring familiar, and the proud, confident answers show that what really matters is how readers see themselves.
