    Description of Nappy


    With a powerful message about  heritage and self-esteem, this is a humorous and delightfully illustrated picture book that weaves together hair and history to celebrate African American culture for young girls. Through accessible and inspirational lyrical prose, the book serves as an essential educational tool for parents, teachers, and older children. Also included alongside original sketches are biographies of the historical African American female icons celebrated within the story, such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and Zora Neale Hurston.
