I really liked this book! Such diversity of styles, and the joy that exuded throughout the text was so much fun to read. It got a bit clunky with the rhyme scheme but the illustrations are too cute!

Such a sweet little book celebrating Black hair! Great book to help normalize our hair and help little Black girls embrace the hair they were born with, but also educate non-Black girls too.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

This is such a positive book with cute illustrations.

This is a beautiful, sweet book celebrating the diversity of natural hair. The illustrations of different hairstyles are lovely, as is the message that natural hair is beautiful in any state. Some of the rhymes are a little bit awkward and could use some editing. But the intent of the book is wonderful.

This book could really use another editor's pass. I noticed several grammar issues, particularly with comma usage. The rhyming is stilted and feels forced on many of the pages.
That said, this book is great for celebrating natural hair and the different styles. I think it would have been nice to mention some of the history of natural styles, but I understand that that doesn't really fall within the scope of this book.

Thank you to the author, BooksGoSocial and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the premise of this book, and the way it explored hair styles and what they express - and that all styles belong in the "beautiful" spectrum. The only thing that grated on me were the illustrations, in particular the round-eyed urchin look which IMO is emblematic of the problematic (to me) disneyfication of illustration and definitely should not be encouraged.

This book has amazing illustrations and descriptions. It is such a wonderful book about hair and how it is magical. I loved it.

Thanks to the publisher, NetGalley and the author for the #gifted arc.

"This hair of mine can truly do magic"

From the author of "Curves Like Mine" is another cute story for young girls In Shrinkage, a little girl demonstrates all the beautiful styles her hair is capable of.

A perfect read to help empower the future leaders of our world: GIRLS!

Such a lovely and important read that celebrates hair. I enjoyed the illustrations and various looks of the protagonist,

Loved it.
Beautiful descriptions and illustrations. Must read for little girls. This book shares a great message to girls.

Such a cute little story about how we should celebrate as how we are born with. Such stories bring confidence to kids about their appearance especially when it comes to curly hair (like our character's here).

The book with its amazing colourful illustrations give such joy while reading it. It gives a body positive effect on the reader.

Thank you, author/artist and the publisher, for the advance reading copy.

Many thanks to Netgalley and KI thoroughly enjoyed this book from front to back! I loved the illustrations and the positivity surrounding the many ways kinky, coily hair can be magical. This is a book I wish I had seen growing up. Shrinkage was a refreshing and inspirational read. Thank you.

I love this!!! A gorgeous celebration of natural hair and all the wonderful things that can be done with it! The illustrations here are so vivid and cute. Young girls will love seeing themselves represented in such a positive, fun, and pretty way. This would be so great to have in classroom and school libraries for Pre-K and elementary.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
