by Karen Arthur (Author), Camilla Ru (Illustrator)

An exciting love letter to grandchildren, multiculturalism, and Afro hair

Celebrating the beauty of natural Black hair, this debut picture book is an infectious, imaginative, and colorfully illustrated tale about the love that is shared between family.

Grandma has beautiful locs. Whenever she comes to visit, she wears them in so many wonderful ways!

Sometimes they playfully peep out from under her vibrant headscarves. Sometimes they coil into plump bunches that crown her head. Always, they are soft and warm and full of Grandma's love.

The glorious debut picture book by podcast host Karen Arthur, Grandma's Locs is a fun, imaginative, and colorfully illustrated tale that celebrates the beauty of natural Black hair and the love that is shared between family.
