This book is exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. The structure of the chapters/parts aid in a compelling organization of the story or information. The pacing is even throughout and matches the tone/genre of the book. -Judge, 29th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards The way this story and it's illustrations detail the history, stylings, and detail of the hairstyles is perfectly done. It's not too in depth, but covers so much more than many other books that touch on this topic. It's informative, inviting, and inclusive, so that those readers who can relate to this hairstyle will feel recognition, representation, and pride in the depictions, and those who aren't as familiar with the content will be educated, feel interested, and gain respect for the cultural significance and importance. Really well done and well delivered. -Judge, 29th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards Wonderfully approachable, inviting, engaging, encouraging, and fun voice. Great for captivating readers and keeping their attention. The voice of the story matches the illustrations and that was wonderful to see the two so complimentary. -Judge, 29th Annual Writer's DigestSelf-Published Book Awards ...Know Your Hairitage: Zara's Wash Day is a must-read picture book for all children. The representation of culture, heritage, and diversity make thisphenomenal book an excellent choice for teachers, parents, and anyone that has or works with young elementary-age children... -Literary Titan, Five Star Review ...The stunning illustrations provided by Princess Karibo give this awe-inspiring picture book an edge to become an extraordinary experience for children. It is one thing to learn about hairstyles, but to learn the value and importance of your past and see it represented in literature is paramount for children of color. -Literary Titan, Five Star Review Even adults will learn something from this book. -Feathered Quill Book Awards Judges' Comments The glossary terms are useful and a good starting point for school projects. -Feathered Quill Book Awards Judges' Comments
