Publisher's Synopsis

"An absolute love letter to my younger, tender-headed self. A warm, embracing, and absolutely needed story for the little girl in all of us." -Korto Momolu, Fashion Designer and Style Curator, Project Runway Finalist

These enchanting pages reveal 467 hours of hand-stitching poured into textile renderings that blend cloth, culture, and the superpowers of the kinky, curly coif.

It's Wash Day! But Elise doesn't want to wash her hair. Will a visit from her favorite Auntie CC, encouragement from her big sister, Gisele, a poem laced with magic, and a special gift passed down from the women who came before her be enough to change her mind?

Sprinkled with #BlackGirlMagic and an ode to cultural beauty, From Cotton to Silk encourages girls everywhere to appreciate their hair in its natural state and love themselves just the way they are.
