"It's Sunday, and that means it's Hair Day! As Mami weaves gold and cowrie shells into Yadira's hair, she tells her the story of the goddess Oshún, showing Yadi how her Afro Latin heritage is lovingly tucked into each braid and shell. The next day, Yadi arrives for her first day at a new school. She's nervous about making friends, but with her beautiful braids, the click-clack of the cowrie shells, and a little guidance from Oshún, she finds she has everything she needs to be her best, most authentic self. Tenderly illustrated by Alleanna Harris, Adiba Nelson's debut picture book is a heartwarming ode to family, identity, and the beauty of braids. Included in the back of the book is a letter from the author and illustrations of different kinds of braided hairstyles." -- Book jacket.
