I Rock My Hair

I raise my fist and I declare . . . that it's ok to rock our hair! A young girl celebrates her right under laws such as the CROWN Act to style her hair in any way she sees fit in this empowering tribute to the unique and special ways that people can rock their hair.

At first, it can be hard to stand out. But with the encouragement and support of family, friends, and the community, one girl discovers the joy in standing up and stepping out as she relishes in the beauty of her hair in twist-outs, braids, ribbons and more. Told in bouncing rhymes with engaging pictures and backmatter about the CROWN Act (legislation enacted in multiple states and introduced at the federal level), author-illustrator Angel Tate weaves together themes of confidence, individual expression, and advocating for yourself and others.
