PreS-K–Blooming with luminous painterly forms, this story of four young Black girls getting ready for the day shows a pure pride in their various hair textures, colors, and styles. Rather than phrases, carefully selected words make up the text and highlight each girl’s natural beauty and a supportive friendship.
