Black nighttime hair traditions are joyfully celebrated in this delightful Own Voices picture book from bestselling author and media darling Nancy Redd. Starring a little girl who's lost her bedtime bonnet, she must search for it amongst her family's durags, wave caps, scarves, and hair wraps. In my family, when the sun goes down, our hair goes up! My brother slips a durag over his locs. Sis swirls her hair in a wrap around her head. Daddy covers his black waves with a cap. Mama gathers her corkscrew curls in a scarf. I always wear a bonnet over my braids, but tonight I can't find it anywhere! Where could my bedtime bonnet be? In this debut picture book from bestselling author and media personality Nancy Redd, a little girl and her family get their hair ready for bed using durags, bonnets, wraps, scarves, wave caps, and more. For the first time in picture book history, readers get a heartwarming peek into quintessential Black nighttime hair traditions--practices shared by many families that have been underrepresented in mainstream media until now.
