"Kendolyn loved everything about herself except her hair. "It's too coarse, too big, too hard to comb, too coily." Its just too much! 10-year-old Kendolyn has decided that the perfect birthday gift would be a relaxer for her hair. Her mother and hair stylist agree, but under one condition, Kendolyn has to finish reading a book of their choice. After tossing the book to the side in favor of zoning out in front of the television, Kendolyn quickly realizes this is no ordinary book. The wordless, pictureless book presents her with a magic comb, and an unforgettable journey into knowledge, self-discovery, and confidence begins."--Provided by publisher.
