Fans of 'I Love My Hair!' written by Chicagoan Natasha Anastasia Tarpley will appreciate that Keyana, the child protagonist, will be featured in a new series of picture books.
The holidays can bring out the warm and fuzzies as familial traditions and classics are revisited as touch points to legacy. Published in 1998 and written by Chicagoan Natasha Anastasia Tarpley, “I Love My Hair!” can now be considered one such classic.
Seeing a need to create more literature that showcased joy for Black kids, Tarpley set forth and hasn’t looked back.“We need some more opportunities for them to just be kids and explore who they are and love who they are,” Tarpley said. “That was the intention that I tried to embed in “I Love My Hair!”— that idea of you are wonderful, all of the things that make you unique are wonderful. That whole positive, joyful message was very important to me.
Tarpley said another part of that message to kids is if your plans don’t work out, then you keep persevering.
