I read Nappy Hair. I felt like the character had a lot of the same things that go on in my life and my family. Like me having nappy hair. My sister has wonderful hair and it is just like my mother's. But mine is all nappy and it is not soft or marvelous like my sister's and my mom's. This book helped me when I could not tell people about myself. It took me a long time for me to come out with the real me and when I read this book, that book just reminded me of me. That is excellent because I guess that's the way the writer makes her magical book. It has an effect on me. I can go on and on about her being a righteous author but as you can see I will not, but she is a righteous author. This book is perfect and the characters are outrageous!
