You might know Matthew A. Cherry's "Hair Love" from the visual short of the same name, but the book is just as sweet as the film.
The story follows Zuri, a young girl who wants her curly hair to look a certain way for a special occasion. She enlists her dad to help her, but learning to style his daughter's hair is a challenge. However, he's happy to go the extra mile for Zuri.
Cherry's short story, which was illustrated by Vashti Harrison, is empowering to anyone who's ever doubted their natural curls, and it shows the connection between a father and daughter is universal.
