My Hair Can by Matt Forte
Former NFL Pro Bowl running back Matt Forté invites girls and boys to embrace their hair with an uplifting reminder of their self-worth through this joyful rhyming picture book.
What can your hair do? From cool curls to crisp fades, from long locs to beaded braids, bright joyful illustrations of melanated children burst from each page, inspiring self-love and positive self-esteem. But hair love is more than knots, locs, and mohawks. Discover the power of cutting your hair in solidarity with a sick friend or celebrating your heritage with hairstyles from your ancestral roots.
My Hair Can is an encouraging reminder for young readers (ages 4–7) about loving their hair, respecting differences, and celebrating their God-given uniqueness.

Christmas in the Barnyard is a festive farmyard board book to celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day.

Filled with endearing illustrations, the humor and charm of this book make it a great choice for budding little animal lovers.
