Introducing "NAPPY SUNRAE CROWN"


THE BOOK HAS ARRIVED. YEAH!!!

Well Ms. Mona and I have been very busy the past month. Ms. Mona finished the book about me and my hair journey. The book is called "Nappy Sunrae Crown".
It is about the different things that happens to my natural hair. My mom straighten with a hot comb, the neighborhood beautician curls it and my cousin puts in a perms, oh! thats cold. But no matter what is done to my hair, it "snaps, crackles and pops" back in to natural curls again. The pictures my brother Anthony (illustrator) drew are really funny. Take a look my hair in curls.

You can purchase the book for $10 plus $3.oo for postage-by writting to Ms.Mona at Sunrae and friends -P.O. Box 2135, Powder Springs GA. 30127 or
e-mail your request. Ms. Mona will be holding reading and booksigning at several places in the Metro Atlanta area- There will be audience participation (that's you) activities and some crafts too. She did one just last week at a local school in Atlanta, GA.
