“Looking different from the rest of the family raises questions, and Avantika asks hers out loud. Her sunny story makes them easier to talk about at home.”
She brushes and brushes, but those curls will not stay down.
Why Is My Hair Curly? is a light-hearted chapter book about curly hair, adoption and learning to love who you are.
Avantika wishes her hair were straight and smooth like everyone else's in her family. Amma and Appa adopted her and her little brother Avnish when they were very small, and she can't help wondering whether her birth mother had curls too. Full of questions, she finds an unexpected confidante in a mysterious paati at the park.
