An affirming, lyrical picture book tribute to the pride in tradition and love from her ancestors one young girl feels when she wraps her hair.
When I wrap,
my roots run deep.
As deep as an African marketplace
or a city sidewalk
or the stories between them.
In this ode to hair wrapping, author Shauntay Grant has crafted a poetic, poignant story about how the practice ties together past and present. With vibrant illustrations by Jenin Mohammed, this book is both an act of joyful recognition and a demonstration of how knowledge is passed through generations. Inspiring and powerful, this is perfect for fans of I Am Enough and Hold Them Close.
