"Osos metaphors illustrate how Black hair tells the story of those who wear it; hair announces its wearers beauty to the world, be it cornrowed, locked, twisted, or curled... A stellar work that belongs in every collection serving young people." Kirkus Reviews(starred review)
About the Author
Maisha Oso writes stories to empower, entertain, and encourage emotional intelligence in young children. A former strategy & analytics professional from New York City, Maisha is currently working in her most challenging role to date: a stay-at-home mom of three tiny humans. When she's not writing, you can find her wrangling her kids, binge-watching an unhealthy amount of reality television, or belting out lyrics from the Hamilton soundtrack. After living abroad for several years in Africa, Maisha and her family have recently moved back stateside to Alpharetta, Georgia.
