I've never read a book that specifically focused on locs, but I love that this book did!! Jaden is an absolute cutie and I love how the story really emphasizes cultural pride and individuality. The illustrations are also stunning and add a more whimsical feeling to the book. There's such a beautiful message about self-confidence in your identity and expressing and embracing what makes you who you are, which I think everyone needs to be reminded of once in a while. Love this and would definitely recommend it to others!

I loved this book. As a black woman I think this book is so needed. Young boys need to see representation of themselves in books as well and I think this book will do very well in stores. The writing was very well done and the graphics were cute and accurate.

Loc'd His Story is about a boy named Jaden, who has locs. He loves his hair and how his locs go through life with him. The illustrations are very cute and you can see the motion of the scenes through them. I liked the discussion questions at the end that focused on self-esteem, individuality, SEL, and identity. These would help make reading this book in school/group setting a simple task.

Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for an egalley of this book for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!

My 3yo liked the story about hair! She was interested in the locs and why the little boy wore them certain ways. I enjoyed the rhyming and phrasing. Very well done!
