Follow the story of Tori, a lively young girl struggling with her multiracial identity and super curly hair in The Curly Girl Blues.

Tori doesn’t want to go to the Friday Fun Fair at her school and would rather stay home singing the curly girl blues. How can she attend the fair when her hair makes her look different from everyone else? Thankfully, with the support of her friends, family, and teachers, Tori realizes that her differences make her special, and she learns to celebrate what makes her so unique.

The Curly Girl Blues teaches young readers the importance of self-acceptance. The book is a wonderful reminder that our differences shouldn’t bring us the blues but instead help us sing loudly and proudly.
