In this beautifully lyrical and sensory-rich picture book, a young girl lovingly admires her Mommy’s hair—its texture, movement, and beauty. As she runs her fingers through it, she imagines it stretching like the canopy of a tree and resting atop her Mommy’s head like a royal crown. Through poetic storytelling and vibrant metaphors, My Mommy’s Hair captures the deep bond between mother and child while celebrating the beauty of diverse hair and cultural identity.

Perfect for early childhood classrooms, family read-alouds, and personal narrative writing lessons, this engaging bilingual book also serves as a powerful mentor text for “small moment” storytelling. Encouraging creativity, self-expression, and appreciation of everyday moments, My Mommy’s Hair inspires young readers to embrace their uniqueness and find joy in the world around them.

Reviews

"I think this book was written for me and my daughter. It is just perfect for us, and I love knowing she can see herself in a book. She is in school in a predominantly white institution and her hair texture is a topic that always comes up. When we read this book we feel proud, accepted and loved for our differences and beauty. It is such a delight to read." -SP (Happy Parent)
