The artwork is beautiful. The book shows different types of Black girls’ hair and styles, as well as different skin tones.

Curls is beautifully illustrated and informative! I loved the representation of different hair types and how to care for them. Curls is a joyful book that delivers an ode to African American girls and the beauty of their curls! This book stars four playful who celebrate their hairstyles from bouncing curls to swinging braids.

A charming poem accompanied by gorgeous art in celebration of beautiful black girl hair. A board book intended for babies to age 4.

The illustrations are radiant, but the words on each page are choppy and disconnected.

This book is geared toward a young audience of pre-readers. It introduces new words to early learners. While there aren’t any full sentences, it is written in more of a free verse poetic style. It is an inclusive books about different ways hair can be worn—in braids, with beads, up high, or down and big. This is a good for people who aren’t reading yet, but I can see where the free verse poetic style could also be confusing to readers with the lack of complete sentences or even complete thoughts.
