A Coretta Scott King Award Winner for Illustration A Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies

Mama's and Great-Grammaw's gentle fingers weave the design, and their lulling voices weave the tale, as they braid their children's hair into the striking cornrow patterns of Africa.---from the publisher
