Monday, April 6, 2015
By Denise Lewis and Flora Awolaja (Positive Image Project, £9.99)
Written by a social worker shocked by stories of white foster carers considering using cooking oil on black children's skin and hair, this book provides a host of hair, skin and general health tips. It includes a step-by-step guide on how to braid cornrows, plus appropriate skin care products, a section on sickle cell anaemia, and healthy Caribbean food. It also touches on self-esteem, and contains a glossary and useful websites for natural afro hair and skincare.
