![]() ![]() ![]() Hair Love is the book that I needed as a child. We want our children to love their hair and to have access to images of beauty that reflect us. I grew immediately excited for the project, especially knowing that Vashti Harrison would be illustrating the characters and because of what it would mean for all of the little girls who would see themselves represented with pride and such care and attention to the versatility of their hair through both the book and the film. ![]() I remember the buzz on Twitter as you worked on the short film that this book is based on. Cherry for your heart and your desire to tell this story. “Sometimes, love looks like braids, puffs, and twists.” It is the love of family as the two welcome Mom home, and it is about the love of your own hair. It is the unfailing adoration of a little girl for her Daddy because she knows that he is willing to give his all for her in this moment and always. It is the love of a father for his daughter as he builds her up and wraps her with an unshakeable confidence. Hair Love is heartwarming and happy, one empowering word and self-affirming image after another. ![]()
