Josey Johnson's Hair and the Holy Spirit by Esau McCaulley

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

A great Christian children’s book that touches on the importance of Pentecost and that we are all made in God’s image and are fearfully and wonderfully made. It includes Black culture and is geared more for Black girls, per the author’s note - however, this would be a great read for all children. The flow of the story was a bit odd, maybe just the beginning threw me off. The illustration is beautiful and I love the way the words are woven into the pictures. This is an awesome way to introduce discussions with your little ones who may be asking “why are we different” and even to talk about Pentecost. I received this copy of Josey Johnson’s Hair and the Holy Spirit from InterVarsity Press through NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.
