Book Description

Charlie is a caring, funny and friendly little girl. Like all children she's beginning to face the struggles that we all go through with finding ourselves and trying to fit in. Follow this series as she learns and grows, and realizes there is nothing better than loving yourself and being happy just the way you are! In the first book of the series, I LOVE My Cotton andy Hair! Charlie rhymes her way into your heart with her perspective on the many goods and bads associated with her naturally curly "cotton candy hair" and finishes by saying "I love my hair and everything that comes with it." The book is uplifting and fun for all children, but particularly young African American girls who are under a constant barrage of images of what the media identifies as beautiful or "good hair."

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great for children of ALL races!, December 12, 2010
This review is from: I LOVE my Cotton Candy Hair! (A girl named Charlie presents...) (Hardcover)
This book celebrates the difference in children. Not only is this great for Black or biracial children, it's great for children who are friends with Black or biracial children because it offers insight on why their hair is different. My baby doesn't have the silky straight hair that I see all around so this book will be a great way for her to celebrate her cotton candy hair when she is old enough to realize the difference. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!!!!

The author AND Charlie (the little girl for whom the story was written) signed my copy and they are both lovely people :-)

THANK YOU, NICOLE, FOR WRITING THIS BOOK and your illustrations are amazing!!!

This review is from: I LOVE my Cotton Candy Hair! (A girl named Charlie presents...) (Hardcover)
This is an great purchase as a gift or for your own child. Many young african american girls become insecure about their hair because it is not like the other girls....we all tend to want what we don't have. Teaching are young girls that loving yourself just as God uniquely designed you is a lesson that needs to be taught more often...everyday. Insecure children become insecure adults (women). Thank you to the author for inspiring our young girls to love themselves just as they are.
