Summary:

This little girl knows her hair is great just as it is. When people ask, Why is your hair so BIG? she answers, Why isn't yours? Her hair is soft, it protects her, it's both gentle and fierce. While some might worry about how it's different and try to contain it, she gives it the freedom to be so extraordinary it almost has a life of its own.
