Avantika brushes and brushes, but there’s no keeping her curly hair down. How she wished her hair was straight and smooth like the rest of her family. Amma and Appa had adopted Avantika and her brother when she was three-and-a-half years old and Avnish a six-month-old baby. She often wonders if their birth mother had curly hair. There are so many questions and emotions in Avantika’s head. Happily, she finds a confidante in the mysterious paati she meets in the park.
Why Is My Hair Curly? is a delightful celebration of curly hair and the courage it takes to be yourself. This chapter book explores genetics, family dynamics and adoption identity through a light-hearted and sunny tale.
