https://padlet.com/queenamanda20/ki6macksu1h5qe5g I appreciate books that encourage children to celebrate their hair in its natural state. As a little girl I felt as though getting a relaxer to straighten my hair was part of growing up. I was so happy when my mom agreed to relax my hair and it wasn’t until then did I start to feel beautiful. Today, our beauty standards have changed and though still a sensitive topic of discussion, little girls and boys can be more accepting of their beautiful kinks and coils because of books like these. en-us 2022-12-03 19:49:52 UTC 2025-06-23 00:39:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2764.png queenamanda20 https://padlet.com/queenamanda20/ki6macksu1h5qe5g/wish/2407664207 Written by one of my close friends, this is a self love book for little girls.
