Two young black boys learn to be proud of their textured hair and the way they wear it in this empowering picture book celebrating hair styles, written by Writer's Digest award-winning author Zenda Walker and with a blurb from Dr. Ibram X. Kendi (author of Antiracist Baby and Stamped).
Zion and his younger brother have an experience at school that makes them reject their cultural hairstyles. But when Dad takes them on a journey to understand the significance of each style, Zion and Zayn's world will never be the same.
Award-winning author Zenda M. Walker creates a story empowering young black boys to embrace their heritage and to celebrate the significance of traditional hairstyles. Inside, Walker includes a tutorial on creating Zion's cornrow style along with a useful glossary of terms for parents and educators to reference when reading the book with children.
