- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022My Little One Loved The Pictures. I told her The Mommy was Me brushing her wavy locks of hair & the Beautiful Little One is her.
I saw where someone commented how much they like the book but was put off by religious references. I'm so glad they said that because it cued me to buy it! It's so encouraging. It's not at all a Bible stories book. It shows she can go anywhere & do anything that's in her heart or imagination to do and be grateful for it all. What's inside her can elevate us all and even change the world.
We Also received 'Hair Love' by Matthew A. Cherry as a Gift. It's a heart warming, truly realistic to this family, wonderfully illustrated book about Daddy's love & care of his Precious little queen daughter. A MUST Buy.
Our Family appreciates and enjoys these books, as you can see in the video attached.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016I love this book! I saw this book at my hair salon, Girlfriends in Ypsilanti Michigan. When I asked about it, my hairdresser told me her client's daughter wrote it! It's so perfect. During graduation season I usually give Dr. Seuss' book All The Places We Will Go. But this year, and from now on, I will be giving this book instead! Not only is it inspirational, historical and relevant, it's fun too! Put a smile on my face. And the illustrations are very well done, colorful, happy and uplifting. This is perfect gift for your friends of color. Nothing can stand in your way unless you let it! Great message, in a little book!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023I bought my 3 month old several books with ppl that look like her. This book was beyond amazing. It teaches how to say hello in 2 different languages and also mentions some historical individuals. This book was a job well done!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2021Very inspirational and a good read for little ones to encourage them that they can accomplish any dream they put their mind to. As well as to think beyond the box someone may try to place you in.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2021I read the reviews and what I read that this book was too religious. That what made me buy the book beside the author being black. The truth is she only mention God twice. So if that's too religious to bad but my 3yr old daughter love the book. A much buy for little young girls
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2017When I purchased this book I had no idea how much my child would enjoy it. She has asked for it every day for the last two weeks. She loves that a girl that looks like her can do so many things. The book is just the right length for a bedtime story.
*On another I had the opportunity to meet the author after I purchased the book and she has such a wonderful and kind spirit.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2018This was given as a gift. The importance of this book is to see yourself in some of the literature
that your children read. I gave it a 4 not a 5 because it was a gift I didn’t see how it was enjoyed
by the reader.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2021Our granddaughter enjoyed reading this story. It inspired her to dream BIG and to know she can accomplish anything she puts her mind to.

I actually thought this book was about hair. My daughter hates getting her hair done so I thought this book would help but it's not about that at all. It's even better. Encouraging young girls to dream big and think anything is possible!
