Many untold stories are held in the kinks of afro hair. Winner of a Go Fund Me award, this fantasy-poem unravels the history of natural hairstyles and encourages children to love all of who they are. Every Sunday afternoon, Sofia's mum washes and combs her hair. Whenever her hair is touched, Sofia becomes very sleepy. Sofia travels in her dreams visiting a Jamaican Rastafarian, African ancestor and Black Panther whose stories help to unpick the history, heroes and joys entangled in afro hair. About the author: Jessica Wilson is a writer of Jamaican and British descent. She was a participant within Penguin Random House's Write Now, shortlisted for the 2017 Aesthetica Creative Writing award and winner of a GoFundMe award. Her first poetry collection is entitled 'The bulldog and the hummingbird'.About the illustrator: Commissioned Welsh-born, Bristol-dwelling fine artist Tom Rawles specialises in album covers and Renaissance-inspired scenes of contemporary culture where, he states, "halos are more bling than holy". His eye-catching scapes were described by influential community Afropunk as both 'stylized' and 'surreal'.For more information, please visit www.jessica-wilson.com or www.tallawahpublishing.com
