First-time young author from Georgia aims to break barriers and increase positive representation.

Nikki Loves Her Hair by Nailah Jones is a children’s book launched December 2018 to help girls accept their natural hair. The book introduces the concepts of positive representation and self-love to children ages 0-5, but it is made to be enjoyed by parents and children of all ages and backgrounds. Jones finds it vital to show younger children in her community why they shouldn’t change themselves for anyone.  

It has now received praise from #1 Amazon bestselling author J.J. Hebert. Hebert hailed the book as “an essential read for little girls in need of reassurance that their hair is wonderful and beautiful as it is. This is a powerful message that every little girl needs to hear.”   

Author Nailah Jones describes the book in her own words: “I created a character that young girls in my community can relate to because of the continuous attacks on our natural hair, which are constantly seen in the news and on social media. I want children to know that the negativity and heartbreak shouldn’t discourage them. We should stand strong in who we are. This book is also for all children regardless of their background, to increase confidence and self-love at an early age.”  

Nikki Loves Her Hair is a 36-page hardcover book and includes beautiful and vibrant full-color artwork. It’s available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and other fine retailers worldwide. Wholesale orders can be placed through Ingram. Suggested retail price is $19.99. Parents can also purchase signed copies from Jones directly from the book’s personal website.
