"Nappy Hair" by Carolivia Herron
illustrated by Joe Cepeda
This is the story of Brenda, the girl with the nappiest hair in the world. The story is told by Uncle Mordecai at a family picnic. Brenda's hair was "an act of God that came straight through Africa." The story traces Brenda's roots back to the slaves in Africa through to the present day, with Brenda sitting at the family picnic. The story is written as call and response. It is fun to use as a read aloud and have students participate by reading different roles.
