My Powerful Hair

"Carole Lindstrom – whose poetic prose so often radiates with powerful Indigenous activism – reflects, celebrates and illuminates the very personal and cultural relationship between a Native girl and her hair. Between many Native people and our hair. The resulting text is strong, sacred and woven with truth and history. Steph Littlebird’s colorful, breathtaking illustrations showcase both evocative concepts and daily-life rituals. For those who find themselves on the page, it’s a loving affirmation. For our friends and allies, it’s a way to understanding and appreciating anew. (For ages 4 to 8)"
