Reviews

Best Board Books of 2020 selection,

"My Hair is Beautiful celebrates children with all manner of skin tones and hair types, while also carrying an empowering message for families and children of colour, for whom wearing hair is both culturally significant and vital to form a positive sense of self."
-- Quill & Quire (Toronto, ON)

"This country's children's literature still does not seem to adequately reflect the diversity in Canadian society, hence this book is a valuable addition to the body of works meant for the youngest children. It confirms the cruciality of minority children seeing themselves in stories. A book for all children's library collections." -- Canadian Review of Materials (Winnipeg, MB)
CBC Books listed My Hair is Beautiful in their "11 Canadian books for kids and young adults to check out during Black History Month".

Gorgeous. The best-looking board book of the year, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Grant shows off a wide array of babies and toddlers and their magnificent hair. "Natural Knotty", "Fluffy Frizzy", "Twisted Tangled", "Pony Puffed", you name it, it's here. And, of course, there's a mirror in the back for "you". Buy 100 of these. It will never be enough. - School Library Journal, Best of 2020 Board Books, Betsy Bird
