Book of the Year Award as the Most Inspirational Book for Youth of 2006 Nappy is a humorous and delightfully illustrated children’s story containing a powerful message about
history, heritage and high self-esteem.

parents, teachers and older children with the back matter containing
biographies about each of the ten African-American women honored in the
story, alongside beautiful original sketches by Ann Marie Williams, winner of
the 2006 National Cherry Blossom Festival Art Competition. REVIEWS I love this book! By L. Carnegie (New Jersey) It A Great Start that will Last By Nappy Mom (Newport
News, VA) This gift to my daughter is a treasure that will last her
lifetime. She is a bit young (age 4) for the poetic description and details of
history, but the pictures said it all in capturing her "lived
experience" of nappy hair. It got her attention well enough for me to
talk to her about the teachers, activists, writers and all the wonderful
women featured in the back. Our conversation included wonderful moments of
self-discovery where she proclaimed, "I am brown too!" and sharing

follow. |
