Description

In the vein of I Am Enough and Hold Them Close, this inspiring and beautiful picture book celebrates how hair wrapping ties together past and present.

When I wrap,

my roots run deep.

As deep as an African marketplace

or a city sidewalk

or the stories between them.

With lyrical text by acclaimed author Shauntay Grant and vibrant illustrations by Jenin Mohammed, When I Wrap My Hair is both an act of joyful recognition and a demonstration of how knowledge is passed through generations.

Critical Reviews

"Lyrical. This is indeed a book of Black joy." -- Booklist

"This message of positivity and cultural connection is simply written yet strikingly brought to life in images that reflect an everlasting bond to rituals. Enchanting." -- School Library Journal
