Book: Little Black Girl It’s Okay

Author: Omoefesie B. Odia

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

Recently I read the book “Little Black Girl It’s Okay”. This is a well written book to empower girls. Through this book, author tells to little readers that it is totally okay to have dark skin, curly and kinky hair, etc. Little girls should learn to be bold and leave the myth “Girls can’t do this” behind. In today’s world, girls can achieve whatever they want. So, just believe in yourself and don’t let anyone put you down.

I am glad to read this book. It is written nicely. Cover image of the book is nice and the title is appropriate. This book will give positive vibes to little girls and they will feel empowered and confident. Pretty Illustrations make the book attractive. Parents can gift this book to their little girls. A great gift with a beautiful lesson.
