When a little girl walks into her local barbershop, she knows she
wants the flyest, freshest fade on the block! But there are so many
beautiful hairstyles to choose from, and the clients and her mother
suggest them all: parts, perms, frizzy fros, dye jobs, locs, and
even cornrows! But this little girl stays true to herself and makes
sure she leaves the shop feeling on top with the look she picks!

Winner of the Lillian Shepherd Memorial Award for Excellence in
Illustration Finalist for a Governor General's Literary Award,
Young People's Literature - Illustrated Books Finalist for a Ruth
and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Books Award When a young girl visits
the site of Africville, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the stories she's
heard from her family come to mind. She imagines what the community
was once like -the brightly painted houses nestled into the
hillside, the field where boys played football, the pond where all
the kids went rafting, the bountiful fishing, the huge bonfires.
Coming out of her reverie, she visits the present-day park and the
sundial where her great- grandmother's name is carved in stone, and
celebrates a summer day at the annual Africville Reunion/Festival.
Africville was a vibrant Black community for more than 150 years.
But even though its residents paid municipal taxes, they lived
without running water, sewers, paved roads and police, fire-truck
and ambulance services. Over time, the city located a
slaughterhouse, a hospital for infectious disease, and even the
city garbage dump nearby. In the 1960s, city officials decided to
demolish the community, moving people out in city dump trucks and
relocating them in public housing. Today, Africville has been
replaced by a park, where former residents and their families
gather each summer to remember their community. Key Text Features
