Zuri's hair has a mind of its own. Her dad has never done hair before. They figure it out together. Cherry — an NFL player turned filmmaker — made the Oscar-winning short film first and then the picture book, both centering a Black father and daughter in a story that is joyful, specific, and completely absent of struggle as the defining feature of Black family life. The illustrations by Vashti Harrison are gorgeous. A dispatch about love expressed through learning something you were never taught, and a girl whose hair is exactly as magnificent as she is.
