Hip Hop Hair - JFAM Johnson - ★★.½

AUTHOR: JFAM Johnson
GENRE: Children's Picture Book.
PUBLICATION DATE: November 24, 2020
RATING: 2.5 stars.


JFAM Johnson is the collective name of the 8 siblings who have written this book. They range in age from 4 to 13 years old. So I think I need to be a bit lenient in my rating here.

The entire book is shorter than its summary on Goodreads. It is written in poetic style, with a nod to hiphop and the hair textures of the usual artists involved in this style. The book is too specific in its content and target audience. I had assumed that it would go beyond the title; it doesn't.

On the plus side though, it will connect with its target audience to a great extent. I loved one of the lines from the book: "My hair defies gravity but I'm more than just my hair!"

I received an advance review copy of the book for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
