Hair Dance!

Hair Dance! by Dinah Johnson is a book written in a poetic form about different ways African American women and girls can wear their hair. It describes hair of every length, color, and texture. It incorporates caring for hair with caring for each other and friendships. The photographs that illustrate each page are beautiful as well. They depict girls and women who are happy and proud of their hair and their relationships with one another. I love this book. I think the author did a great job showing how the women in the images are proud of their hair and that it is a part of them! This book brings in cultural diversity to poetry through the genre of hair!
