My Afrikah Hair, by Melanie L Houston is a wonderfully empowering book which promotes a healthy love of self and one's heritage. Going beyond self-acceptance, to embracing pride in the traits that make one unique, this book is beautifully written and gloriously illustrated. Told in verse, My Afrikah Hair helps readers of all ages find strength in their lineage as they are reminded of the beauty in a majestic African mane, along with all that entails. This book has many lovely layers, all of which point to the fact that God's creatures are fearfully and wonderfully made in his image.
Recommended for home and school libraries, My Afrikah Hair has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.
