Alice's Reviews > Oshún and Me: A Story of Love and Braids

4 stars
I read a digital advanced copy courtesy of the publisher.
A young mixed race person settles in while having their hair and braided and mother telling her why cowrie shells are important and connect to Yoruba heritage. Depictions of children in many shades with hair braids shows the pride in hair braiding that is embraced by many cultures. The main character uses an assistive device to move around but the story doesn't focus on this at all, normalizing the device's use.
