This fun, beautifully illustrated story of a Turtle who loves her Afro is for all who know that curly Afros are beautiful!
The Turtle with an Afro is frustrated because her springy head of curls will not stay in place. But Turtle soon sees the light, and learns that her curls are DYNAMITE! Children will love to read along with this celebration of curly, kinky, coily hair in all it's forms, and learn a lesson on self-love and acceptance along the way! The Turtle with an Afro features an anthropomorphic character with an African American likeness, which includes thick, curly hair. However, Turtle's struggle with styling her hair is an experience that girls and women are likely to identify with, regardless of cultural background.
The plot centers on her emotional journey from frustration to excitement as she styles her "fantastic, frolicking, feisty" hair. This poetic, alliterative children's book makes for an engaging read aloud with young kids at home and at school. Its playful tone and fast pace hold the attention and delight of readers. Ultimately, this is a story of self-love that acknowledges how we as humans grapple with our bodies, our image, and our desire to present our best selves to the world. Children will leave this story with confidence in the mantra: Rock your crown! The perfect SEL read.
FIVE STAR AMAZON REVIEWS
***** "Oozing Self-Love Awesome is an understatement for this powerful children's book. So much love and pride oozes from the pages. Each page made my spirit dance and smile with its messages of self-love."
***** "Empowering Story of Self-Love and Natural Beauty Such a delightful tale that empowers girls to embrace their natural hair & to value the beautiful versatility of their Afrocentric coils. My 3 yr old really enjoys this book and as a mom of two girls, it is so affirming to be able to pour self love into them through story!"

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
