A young girl finds a neighbor who can and will let her realize the possibilities her hair offers, not just resigning herself to bad hair for which she has been ridiculed. ( ) Distraught at being teased in school about her hair, MacKenzie runs to her neighbor Miss Tillie's house, sure that she will find some answers there. Not only is there a glory to Miss Tillie's house, with its beautiful garden, there is a glory to Miss Tillie herself, with her beautiful hair. Listening with compassion, MacKenzie's neighbor agrees to help her, using the metaphor of the garden to show her that there are many, equal kinds of beauty, and that all of those kinds require nurturing... Although author/artist Cozbi A. Cabrera has illustrated a number of picture-books prior to this, My Hair Is a Garden represents her debut as both writer and illustrator. It is a gorgeous, heartfelt book, one that pairs a perceptive, thought-provoking story with beautiful visuals. The metaphor of the garden is an apt, and very useful one, not just because it highlights the diversity of beauty, but because it emphasizes how important self-care and nutrition are, to producing good end results. This is a lesson from which we all can benefit. There is an afterword giving details about caring for black hair, as well as two recipes, for an herbal rinse and for moisturizing shea butter.
