New Release: Magic Like That

September 7, 2021 Jennifer Khawam

Today, we’re excited to release Magic Like That written by Samara Cole Doyon and illustrated by Geneva Bowers. A true ode to Black Girl Magic, Magic Like That successfully captures confidence, self-love, and the endless opportunities for imagination from cover to cover.

About the book:

Natural hair is magical, but magic isn’t easy. As a young Black girl patiently waits for her mother to finish her newest hairstyle, she wonders what stunning, majestic, awe-inspiring form her hair will take next!

With radiant illustrations by Geneva Bowers and beautiful, poetic text written by Samara Cole Doyon, Magic Like That will inspire young readers of all textures to believe in the beauty of their natural selves.

Praise for Magic Like That: 

★ “A fine addition to an expanding body of hair-affirming books that exude Black girl self-love and confidence.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Readers will revel in this glorious celebration of Black hair.” —Publishers Weekly

“The joy of different colors, textures, and styles shines through here and is sure to inspire confidence and creativity in young readers becoming acquainted with their hair and self-expression.” —Booklist
