About this ebook
NEA'S READ ACROSS AMERICA 2019-2020 CALENDAR
Like every good garden, my hair must be cared for and nourished, tilled, and weeded.
After a day of being taunted by classmates about her unruly hair, Mackenzie can't take any more and she seeks guidance from her wise and comforting neighbor, Miss Tillie. Using the beautiful garden in the backyard as a metaphor, Miss Tillie shows Mackenzie that maintaining healthy hair is not a chore nor is it something to fear. Most importantly, Mackenzie learns that natural black hair is beautiful.
