Pretty Hair

Sophia is excited for her first day at her new school. She has a new dress,
new shoes, and a new hairdo. Her mom has combed Sophia's hair into
cornrows with blue and white beads to match her dress. She loves hearing
the beads in her hair hit together, like tiny wind chimes.
When she arrives at school, Sophia discovers her hair is different than the
other girls' hair. The children are curious about Sophia's cornrows, and one
even seems to tease her. Sophia is sad; she begs her mom to style her
just like her friends'.
This picture book helps young girls and women understand there are an
amazing variety of styles and textures of hair and no one type is the
definition of pretty. Children learn to embrace their differences as well as the
differences of others.
