About The Book

A warm, rhyming celebration of Afro hair and father-daughter relationships, from hair care coach and author Tọlá Okogwu and rising star illustrator, Chanté Timothy.

It’s Sunday evening and dinner is over.
Beth is excited and heads to the sofa.
Daddy is there with a smile and a chair.
“Daddy,” she asks, “will you please do my hair?”

It’s the evening before School Picture Day and Beth would like a brand new hairdo! Join Daddy and Beth on a wonderful hair adventure in this heart-warming depiction of the quality time spent between parent and child.

This joyful rhyming text is paired with bold and beautiful illustrations from Chanté Timothy (Hey You! by Dapo Adeola).

Also includes haircare tips for Afro hair from the author!
