Publisher's summary

Zuri’s hair has a mind of its own. It kinks, coils, and curls every which way. Zuri knows it’s beautiful. When Daddy steps in to style it for an extra special occasion, he has a lot to learn. But he LOVES his Zuri, and he’ll do anything to make her - and her hair - happy. Tender and empowering, Hair Love is an ode to loving your natural hair - and a celebration of daddies and daughters everywhere.

Featured Article: The top 100 kids books of all time


Listening to a story is the first way that we’re introduced to books as kids. And while our parents and grandparents (and babysitters and siblings!) are no doubt wonderful narrators who left indelible marks on our bookish hearts, the performances featured on this list elevate these stories to new heights. Representing listens for kids ages 0-12, and featuring animals, magical creatures, awkward middle schoolers, and more, our kids essentials will help you rediscover the magic of childhood.

Listening with my grand daughter

We purchased the hard copy of the book and flip the pages while listening to it. My grand daughter enjoys it. Blue Ivy’s voice is perfect and the music makes it more enjoyable.

Blue Has The Cutest Voice Ever💕

It was so cute. I love every second of it. She speaks so clear and it’s animated. 5/5, I would definitely recommend it.
