8 Great Kids’ Books to Read for Black History Month

Big Hair, Don’t Care

Age range: 3 – 6 years
Books that help with self-esteem and building confidence are definitely our favourites. And this one is designed to do just that! The main character is a little girl named Lola with really, really big hair. But, as Lola puts it, 'Even though the kids may stare, I lift my hands up in the air, then smile and say… I love my hair!' You've got to love a girl with confidence! And the emphasis on being okay with the things that make you different makes this a great choice for young readers.
