"Nontshokweni turns the familiar story of a Black girl learning to love her hair on its head by featuring a young queen with a healthy pride in her locks."�Booklist, Starred Review
�Sometimes kids must speak out until adults listen ��Whether a mirror or window for readers, this culturally rich story exemplifies the importance of self-advocacy � This brightly colored picture book, dominated by pinks and purples, showcases the beauty of brown skin and natural Black hair, as well as the versatility of hair, and spotlights beauty practices common throughout the African diaspora.� �Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
