Paperback Description:
Every design has a name and means something in the powerful past and present richness of the Black tradition.
Mama’s and Great-Grammaw’s gentle fingers weave the design, and their lulling voices weave the tale, as they braid their children’s hair into the striking cornrow patterns of Africa.
