Ari J.'s Kinky, Curly Crown
by Ain Heath Drew (author), Shamar Knight-Justice (illustrator)
Ari J. is in the first grade now, and she knew this school year would be perfect. She had perfect clothes. She had a perfect pair of glasses to give her perfect sight. She would be making perfect grades. She had the perfect friends: DJ, Rae, Dylan, and Taj. She even had the perfect teacher, Ms. Windsun.
The only thing that Ari J. thought was not perfect was her kindergarten hair.
Praise
“I purchased this book for a friend of mine’s daughter, she had been asking a lot of question about her curly hair because a few of her friends have straight or have straightened theirs. Her mother told me that when she opened the amazon package she went straight to her room and read it immediately and has read it three times since, later in the week she called to thank me and could not stop talking about how much she loved the book. I want to thank the author for writing a book to empower and encourage young girls of color to be proud of their kinky kurly crowns!”

“I loved reading this to first graders at my school. It was a great discussion topic celebrating our differences and acceptance of these differences. It was also a great read for youngsters to recognize their inner and outer beauty. My grandson(1 year old) also loved the book especially for the illustrations.”
