About the Book

Little One has just finished her bath and now it's time to tackle her soft, curly, tangled locks… every little girls dream, right? For Little One it is torture unimaginable as she kicks and screams while her mother dresses her hair. If only her hair was as smooth and straight as her big sister Ayana's. When mother leaves the room, Ayana attempts to console Little One with a story of a beautiful African girl who is also struggling with her own self-image.

As bed-time draws near, it is Amari who has yet one more lesson to teach Little One….
