"Brown Like Me" Books
Books for Kids Featuring Black Characters
Being completely honest, I really don't like doing my daughter's hair. For that matter, she really doesn't like having her hair done! However, this book is a great reminder to love your hair and wear it with pride.
Surprisingly, this book is about the "adventures" of a young girl trying to avoid getting her hair combed and braided.
This book celebrates the hair styles and hair textures of African American girls. "Just all girl happy! Happy to be nappy hair."
There's nothing quite like the feeling you get after you get up from the barber's chair. "Magnificent. Flawless. Like royalty."
This is a whimsical book about a girl who loves her hair. The problem is, others love it too and often reach to touch it without asking permission.
I love this book! Not only do the bright and vibrant illustration of the cool haircuts draw you in, but the positive affirmations are just as beautiful!
This is a great story about a little boy named Miles and his first trip to the barber shop with his father. Miles is very excited, but at the same time has to be brave.
