À propos de cet audio
Join author Jaylene Clark Owens as she pens an ode to Black girls and braids, a dynamic duo. This empowering audiobook shines a light on what braids mean to Black girls of all ages and shows how Black communities have managed to continuously make space for braids, paying homage to their origins while making fun and futuristic styles, despite rules and regulations attempting to condemn them. This timeless book honors creativity, encourages confidence, and calls for Black girls to proudly show off their braids no matter what!
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Based on spoken-word artist Owens’s viral poem of the same name, the text of this inspirational picture book foregrounds the versatility of braids as well as their cultural and personal significance."
—Publishers Weekly
"Candy-hued digital illustrations by Bond, meanwhile, burst with texture and movement, visualizing children with flowing braids throughout an empowering read that reinforces the idea that 'my braids... are part of my crown,/ Of my culture.'"
—Publishers Weekly
"This focus on cultural education remains positive and emphasizes how braids are both connected to culture and are a way to protect hair...A great book for cultural education and appreciation. This book will be of interest to all collections."
—School Library Journal
Holding a sign reading “Support the Crown Act” (a reference to legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of hair texture or style in California), our protagonist advocates for herself and her community, her special hairstyles, and their connection to her culture, her neighborhood, and her family. While this isn’t the first picture book celebrating Black hair, the thoughtfulness and care shown by the young activist make for an undoubtedly rich addition to any library that prioritizes equity. Charming and celebratory.
