*********
Zuri has hair that kinks and coils and curls every which way and lets her be her. She can change her hair into poufs or braids to be a superhero or a princess depending on the day.
Then, one special day comes along and Zuri needs a very special hairstyle. So Daddy volunteers to help. He gives it a couple of tries and she gives him a couple of hard stares. Can he get it right? Does he have the magic touch?
A lovely story about the very special love between a father and his daughter and the wonderful things that can happen inside a family.
