My hair is a Crown

My Hair Is a Crown by Dr Abigail Muchecheti

During a classroom art lesson, a young girl is asked to draw herself but when classmates compare her hair to bushes and tell her to make it “lie down,” her pride starts to wilt. With warmth, wisdom, and a little remembering, she reclaims her beauty and draws herself as she truly is: bold, soft, radiant crowned.

A lyrical, affirming picture book that celebrates Afro-textured hair, self-love, and the quiet power of cultural pride in everyday spaces.
