Embrace Your Curls. Love What Makes You, You.
Curly Hair Chose Me is a warm, confidence-building picture book for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers (ages 0-5). Follow a young girl as she learns that her curls don't need to be "fixed" to be beautiful.
Like many children with naturally curly hair, she wonders why her hair won't lay flat, why it frizzes when she plays, and why it looks different from others. With gentle support from her mother, she discovers something powerful: her curls are a gift-and they belong.
