Hello, friends! Our book today is Curls, written by Ruth Forman and illustrated by Geneva Bowers, a celebration of black hair. Visit us for new picture books reviews daily! This review was originally written for The Baby Bookworm. Please be assured that my opinions are honest. Many thanks to Simon & Schuster for the opportunity to read and review. Curls was intended for young readers, "celebrating identity and self-love for children of color and for all children to enjoy." I highly recommend this book for everyone! Due to the limited number of children's books for people of color, the author committed herself to write one. The author was shocked when her pk3 daughter came home from school saying she didn't like her curly hair and wished that she had straight hair and light skin.
She went out to meet her friends, four girls with four different hairstyles. She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, still smiling. The friendship between the girls looked happy and carefree.Ĭurls followed "four friends who celebrate the joy of their hairstyles from bouncing curls to swinging braids." The story started with a girl on her bed, waking up in the morning with a smile on her face. I loved the colors and I liked to point them out to my daughter so she can learn colors too.
This board book was cute and a quick read. I liked how happy the characters looked on every page. I loved the illustrations! The hairstyles were excellent.
