Review:

“Striking spreads include bold and eye-catching colors that celebrate the diversity of beauty.” — School Library Journal, Starred review

 

I really loved this book. It's simplistic but definitely not in a bad way. In an "easy for children to understand" way. The book was gorgeous and beautiful and full of acceptance of all times of hair. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's hard to review children's books because I often find myself struggling to find a whole lot of words to describe this book. The art and wording in this book is simple but effective. I highly recommend it for people with children and I even think it's worth a quick read for adults as well.
