Goodreads

Birungi’s frustration with her hair leads to an exploration of the many, many types of hair people have. Her parents describe hair in fun, exciting terms and Birungi gains a new appreciation of how important it is to accept and love the hair you have.

The message here is a nice one, but both the pictures and the text fall somewhat short of driving it home. A decent choice for children struggling with accepting their hair; it would definitely help get a conversation started.
