My little girl is mixed and its difficult to find books/movies that have a black figure. My daughter has been unhappy with her hair and or skin color. My 5 year old loves this book and asks me to put her hair in magic puffs! If they could just now write a book about magic braids!!
This book is AWESOME!!!! I have personally experienced some of the things that Penny does in the book and I am so thankful for the positive perspective given to our little girls. Hair is a huge deal for little girls and differences are not always celebrated. I can't wait to give my daughter this tool of empowerment to make her feel proud and confident while embracing her differences and loving God's art work! Thank You!
This book goes beyond the difference in hair texture. Since this is now my daughter's favorite book to read she asked that I read it to her Pre-K class during Dr. Suess week :) Every kid in the class of all races; boys and girls, wanted MAGIC puffballs because they were excited to imagine what may happen to them if they had Penny's magic. Not to mention the underlying moral of the story could be applied to any challenges where you are trying to get a child to understand that different is not bad and we all have special things about us that may be different from others. I would love for this to be turned into a series!
What a wonderful book!! My daughter has read it everyday since I gave it to her!!! I ordered the bundle with the shirt and poster print!! She couldn't wait to wear her magic puffballs to school!! Great for young African American girls that battle with their special hair!!!! Great for all children!!!!
It's kind of a silly book (it's about a girl's puffball pony tails and how they are "magical") but my girls love it. Any girl with really curly hair knows she is not going to be able to style her hair like girls with straighter hair. I want my girls to know their hair is just as wonderful, even if they can't do the same things as other girls. This book goes about instilling that into the reader in a silly, fun way. Penny wanted to style her hair like her friends and her mom has to explain she can't. BUT she did a special hair style... puffball pony tails. The day that ensues is magical for Penny. It's cute. I was surprised at how much my girls liked it.
The best thing about this book is the joy it brings to the kids who read it (or have it read to them). You can see their faces light up. I gave several as gifts, and every parent commented on how much their kids just loved it, and how excited they were. One 4-year-old fan talked about it so much her preschool bought 2 copies for their reading room.
This book is awesome!! It speaks volumes for the author, and her creativity in being able to express to her kids (and ours through the book) that they are beautiful just the way they are! I have reached out to many of my contacts to share the beauty of this book. Kudos!! Love it!!!!! Keep writing..... I can't wait for the next one!
My daughter has "magic puffballs" because her hair is different (she has curly hair like her dad who is half black and half Hispanic) and me personally I love it!!! It is a great book and it teaches about individuality and creating your own "look".
