From the Publisher

Who knew that self-empowerment could be so fun?!

If your little one didn’t know how amazing they truly are, they will fully embrace it by the end of this book!

Hands that can engage in creative, messy play. A voice that can get the attention of all of the grown-ups. Curly hair that hides all the beautiful bows. There are so many fun and brilliant qualities about our bodies – open this book and let’s celebrate them all!

Playful scenes that are relatable to young kids

Your child will see themselves in the characters, as they play with paint, crayons, and even the irresistible contents of auntie’s purse.

Even better, each of the scenes reinforce the power of classic screen-free play.

Positive messages focused on self-empowerment

All kids benefit from self-empowering messages. Children of color benefit from this even more, especially in uplifting unique qualities like their brown skin and curly hair. This book celebrates them all.

More Curly Crew Fun!

From the Author, Markita Staples-Green

I decided to become an author when I had my first daughter, Emerald. I fell in love with storytime with her and I wanted to write the book that she would love to read! It’s also very important that my daughters embrace features like their curly hair and skin color, so I wanted to create cute little characters based on them and other little babies of color.

Creating these books have been such an amazing experience. I had so much fun bringing the illustrations to life. I hope to write more stories that our babies and parents of color will love reading!
