Boys and their cool, natural hair are celebrated in this bright, joyful read-together picture book that will have kids everywhere chanting the book's chorus: "I am born to be awesome!" When the stars shine, the world is mine! I am born to be awesome! My hair is free, just like me! I am born to be awesome! Boys will love seeing strong, happy reflections of themselves in this vibrant, rhythmic picture book celebrating a diversity of hip black hairstyles. From a 'fro-hawk to mini-twists and crisp cornrows, adorable illustrations of boys with cool curls, waves, and afros grace each page, accompanied by a positive call-and-response affirmation that will make kids cheer. It's a great read-aloud to promote positive self-esteem to boys of all ages, building and growing the foundation of self-love (and hair love!) and letting every boy know that "You are born to be awesome!" And look for the companion book for girls, Happy Hair. "a timely mirror for black boyhood and childhood."Kirkus "Readers of this work will relate to the books positive language, such as the way the author frames self-esteems connection to pride in hairstyles and looking and feeling awesome."Booklist

This is such a cute little book. Simple for young minds showcasing different ways to style your hair. Most of the dozen or so hairdos are on a variety of darker skinned children. But they all show a simplicity in them all being beautiful the way they are. It feels like a mantra for young children who are bombarded with statements against their hair. Very nice inclusive book

Another bookstore outing with my littles. They picked up some great titles today. Tagged book is adorable! #BlackBoyJoy #BoysReadToo #OwnVoices #BrilliantBlackBoy #Blitsy #BlackLitsy #WeNeedDiverseBooks

TheNerdGodfather Definitely going to check out Cool Cuts for my little guy even though he‘s only 4 months old 🙂 3y
Chelleo @TheNerdGodfather It‘s cute. Not much of a story as much as it depicts different hairstyle and share a confidence building affirmation. Perfect for little dudes. 3y
