![]() ![]() Featuring a black family (who are frustratingly under-represented in picture books), illustrator Vashti Harrison has captured the emotions and character of the protagonist and her father perfectly: their frustrations, struggles and ambitions are realistic, endearing and absorbing, and she is, of course, brilliant at drawing hair! Zuri obviously adores her dreadlocked, tattoed Daddy, and the feeling is mutual….hats off to him for his bottomless supply of patience and optimism. ![]() There is so much to like about this positive picture book. Tears are shed, but the close-knit pair come up with a plan, show some determination and patience, and the final style is spectacular! The story concludes with a reveal of what makes the day so special: Mummy is coming home! The family embrace and Mummy says Zuri is ‘the prettiest supergirl’ she’s ever seen. Daddy’s first few (rather wonky) attempts are firmly rejected as not special enough. Keen not to wake Daddy, who has been ‘worn out’ of late, she creeps about considerately, but in the end she needs his assistance….although they both discover it’s not as easy as it looks in the tutorial. She wakes up on a particularly ‘special day’ with plans to recreate an ambitious hairstyle she finds on the internet. Styling it in different ways makes her feel proud, strong and pretty. Zuri knows her thick afro hair is beautiful, and that ‘it has a mind of its own / it kinks and coils every which way’. Cherry Illustrator: Vashti Harrison Publisher: Puffin ![]()
