"Lailah Loves Her Crown" By Natasia Stukes Illustrated by Vanessa Beazer & Maya Dubose
Lailah Nicole is a beautiful young girl who has not yet learned to love her self, and embrace the things that make her who she is. Through poetic rhythm, and cultural experience, we see how her lack of self love causes her shame, and disappointment. While it’s easy for her to blend into society, and cover up her own hair in shame, Lailah’s mom teaches her other ways to truly love her crown.
