Book summary

A young African American girl named Keyana complains to her mother about how difficult it is to care for her hair. Keyana hates the nighttime ritual when her mother combs the knots out of her hair because, no matter how gentle her mother tries to be, it still hurts. Keyana's mother explains to her how lucky she is to have the kind of hair that she has, and as they speak, Keyana finds reasons to be proud of her hair. Color illustrations accompany the text.
