Book Description
for My Hair Is Like Yours by St. Clair Detrick-Jules and Tabitha Brown
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
“My hair is like my sibling’s, curly and bouncing with glee. / My hair is like my uncle’s, long and loc’d and free.” A board book with photographs of Black children, each sporting a different hairstyle, notices how their hair is similar to that of someone else—a friend or family member, an adult or another child. They have cornrows, twists, loose curls, long locs, braids, fades, and puffs, as well as varying skin tones and hair textures. The book ends with a mirror and words of affirmation: “No matter the style, I always remember that I am more than enough!” The photographs are bursting with carefree joy and love.
