"Bedtime Bonnet allows Black children to see their reality reflected in their entertainment." --Essence "Redd's family represents a range of varying hair textures and care routines, while Myers's vibrant illustrations bring the close-knit crew and their daily rituals to affectionate life." --Publishers Weekly "A celebration of black hair, family, and culture.... This brightly hued picture book with loads of charm will entertain and empower readers." --Kirkus Reviews "Ideal for readers searching for stories about natural hair. It is a wonderful window and mirror that lends itself well to lessons on self-concept, bedtime routines, and learning about differences." --Booklist
