This is a beautiful book about the culture of Nokomis, a Native tribe, hair. Also my first new ereader library book. How this girl loves growing her hair out. It gets shares a difficult part, of the “reform schools” taking the children‘s hair. I love how it simply describe each year of her life and how it is woven in her hair. Hair that connects her to Mother Nature.

“All her teaching and prayers are woven into my hair”
