Nappy Is Still
HERE!
How can you help me celebrate?
- Buy my book. Either buy the book on Amazon or go to Barnes & Noble, Borders or Booksamillion, ask for it, and if they don't have it look shocked & amazed that they would not carry such a wonderful book for African-American children! Tell them that they can order it for you, but that you are very disappointed! :-)
- INVITE
ME TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU!!
- Invite
me to your next event to read, do a storytelling session, or share
poetry. I'll visit schools, churches, parents/kids groups, girl scout
troops, or even birthday parties.
- Buy my book.
- Come to my next event.
- Oh, did I mention, buy
my book?

EARLY PRAISE!! "NAPPY is a crucial book for our precious children. Don't miss it!" Dr. Cornel West, Professor of Religion and African American Studies,Princeton University. "A celebration of self-worth, cultural awareness and strength is woven neatly throughout the pages of this beautifully illustrated tribute to women of African ancestry and their 'super-nappturally Nappy' hair. The story, though joyful and light-hearted, contains a powerful message about history, heritage and high self-esteem." said Gloria Harper Dickinson, Ph.D., Chairperson, Department of African American Studies The College of New Jersey; 2001-2004 National President, The Association for the Study of African American Life & History. |
It's not just for our little girls...
It's for you and yours and all the world
For everyone who wants to know...
Why our God touched us, made us just so...
To our will of steel, they can't hold a candle
Yeah, He made sure ...
THERE WASN'T NOTHING THAT WE COULDN'T HANDLE!
Little girl...
Our hair is...
Thank you to my husband for your continued support.
Thank you to my illustrator, Ann Williams -- you were all that and so much more.
Thanks

as well as to my entire circle of friends and family who continue to take

help my words fulfill their destiny to live and dance eternal.
Oo-Oop we've done it again!
