About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate your child's physical identity or help them build a joyful relationship with their own reflection. Hair Dance! is a rhythmic, poetic tribute to the versatility and beauty of African American hair, moving through styles like braids, twists, and clouds of curls. It shifts the focus from the chore of grooming to the artistry and fun of self-expression. Through high-energy photography and lyrical text, this book fosters deep self-esteem and cultural pride. It is an ideal choice for the preschool and early elementary years, offering a mirror for Black children and a window for others to appreciate the vibrant variety of hair textures. It is less a story and more an experience of pure, unadulterated joy that reinforces that every child is a masterpiece.
