Momma, May I Be Me, by Tamecca Rogers and Keith Ross (Inspire Publishing, 2020, 40 pages)
Keith doesn't want to have short hair like his dad, but long hair; doesn't want to have black hair like his older brother's, but blue and red hair; doesn't want to have smooth hair like his other brother. Keith wants to be unique, to be different, to be someone all by himself so he settles on dreadlocks!
Mom doesn't really agree but decides to help him really make up his mind so she tells him the history of dreadlocks and the long process to go through for dreadlocks.

Authors Rogers and Ross self-published this book (which doesn't make it unique). What does make Momma, May I Be Me unique is that each page is written in English and in Spanish! A great way for adults to learn or resurrect their Spanish (or English) and for kids to improve theirs!
A bit heavy on education, history and vocabulary but an interesting book to be read to.
