Crowning glory : a celebration of black hair / Carole Boston Weatherford ; illustrated by Ekua Holmes.
"Our hair is a lioness, born to be wild. We pride ourselves on flair and style. Cornrows forming complex patterns. Shells and beads on boxy braids. A flowery 'fro that's wash and go. A regal pouf that scrapes the sky. Black hair styles embody beauty and loving ritual, culture and community, expression and strength, patience and boundless creativity. This gorgeous, uplifting tribute from Carole Boston Weatherford and Ekua Holmes, co-creators of Voice of Freedom, a Caldecott Honor winner, celebrates the varied and stunning ways in which Black people style their hair and the individuals who rock these looks--bold and powerful crowns of glory."-- Dust jacket flap.
