Product Details

Praise

“A heartfelt story about a little girl, a beloved’s mother’s scarf and a host of adventures shared with it and her whole family.” —Delaina Dixon, Ebony Magazine

“Solidly reassuring. . . . Avelino’s playful illustrations depict a family with a range of skin tones and hair colors, a refreshing reflection of the true diversity of the Black community. Bright, fantastical backgrounds with repeating circular patterns feature various shapes and colors while placing the focus on Chino’s relationships with her loved ones. The straightforward text lingers on each scene, inviting readers to dwell in Chino’s world. This is a cozy read-aloud to help little ones wind down before a nap or bed.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This straightforward yet lively telling illustrates how a simple object used to maintain and accessorize hair supports both a child’s sense of autonomy and a Black family’s powerful bond.” —Publishers Weekly

“An adorable book with beautifully-colored illustrations by Joelle Avelino. . . .  A sweet story about worries and adventures, along with routines and family. Mama’s Sleeping Scarf shows how the smallest things are connected, how a family relates to one another, and more importantly, how Mama always comes back home.” —Black Girl Nerds

“A sweet story about family, connection, and the joys of everyday life.” —Brightly (The Best Children’s and YA Books of September)
