Hair, History, Heritage
Hairstory
Hairstory is a radiant picture book celebrating African hair traditions — braids, locs, cornrows, and more — woven with history, identity, resistance, and artistry. Told through the eyes of a young girl as she sits to have her hair styled, the story honours the beauty and power of African hair while connecting it to heritage, family, and culture.
With vibrant illustrations and lyrical text, bestselling Nigerian children’s author Sope Martins invites readers of all ages to see African hair as a crown of pride and a tapestry of stories passed from generation to generation.
