Mommy, Is My Hair Nice?: Growing Up with Kaliah and Asara - Paperback

by Tanika J. Baker (Author), Wade Williams (Illustrator)

"Mommy, is my hair nice?" That's what Kaliah asked her mom one day after dinner. Kaliah and Asara migrated from Jamaica to Canada four years ago with their parents.

The girls attend the local elementary school and love to share stories of their daily encounters with their parents. Most situations are fun, and problems are usually easy fixes for Mom and Dad, but others not so much. How does Mom help Kaliah and Asara to understand that people are different and assure them that there's beauty in being different, no matter what others might say?

Join Kaliah and Asara for their adventures and experiences growing up and learning to adjust to their life in a foreign country.
