The daughter couldn't have been more than 5years old.
She was watching another young girl, of Asian decent, play with her long brown hair and as soon as the other little girl got off the train, the young girl turned to her mother and asked why she had to have a "nasty dry afro :-("
I was horrified and I think the mother was too!!!
Her mother told her, her hair was her crowning glory and it is beautifully in every way. She explained all races have different characteristics but all were beautiful and as God had planned.
The little girl was not convinced, she turned away from her mother and pouted like a trooper....
It's far to easy for this to happen with our lil mamas & papas, today there are countless mediums pumping countless ideals into these fragile minds.
All that being said, I thought I'd share a few kids books on the topic for your son's, daughters, nieces, nephews etc
They make great presents!
Lets encourage SELF-LOVE!
