My Powerful Hair
Illustrator
My Powerful Hair is a strong choice for readers looking for Indigenous picture books and other diverse picture books shaped by identity, resilience. Carole Lindstrom builds the story around an indigenous girl reflects on hair, ancestry, healing, and the strength passed down through generations of women. It is especially strong for readers seeking diverse picture books about self-worth, cultural continuity, and healing from the legacy of forced assimilation. Especially strong for read-alouds about land, kinship, and cultural continuity. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page.
