This is a sweet, much-needed book chock full of black representation and hair positivity. With short, snappy rhymes and cute cartoonish illustrations, Roe takes us on a journey of the various different ways in which young black girls can choose to wear their hair, such as afros, in a wrap, or bantus. Overall, Happy Hair is a positive, refreshing look at something many people have taken for granted. This is great for beginning readers through kindergarten!

This was really cute! I love the artwork--it's chic and graphic while also being cute. The rhymes were a nice touch, and I like that it offered the names of specific hairdos as well. I think that would be great for young ones who love beauty and hair. I will say I wasn't a big fan of the mantra on loving being me. It felt a little overplayed.

This book aims to make young black girls feel confident about their hair and assures its readers that black hair can come in different styles, textures, etc. Somewhat unique to the book, it also has spawned its own hair care line for youth that is pictured at the end of the book. Therefore, parents who are interested in reading the book and using positive products at the same time can do so with their children.

A beautiful, self-affirming, positive representation to have available for my students in the library. I had a 3rd grade boy read it to me, and he recognized both of his sisters and several of his classmates from our school community within the pages of this book.
