Summary: Shauna, a young African American girl, helps open and set up "The New You" Salon. Owned by Shauna's mother, Shauna hopes to be able to help her momma more extensively in the salon, rather than small jobs such as "[arranging] the packets of sugar" for the coffee early in the morning. Shauna loves watching her mother do the customers' hair, as well as the excitement of the customers after they see "The New You" in the mirror. The central message of this book is the importance of diversity and working together as a family. The illustrations in this book were very detailed, which greatly assisted the long paragraphs of texts in the book. I would have liked if the paragraphs were split up more to make it easier to follow along. For instance, I like how Shauna had her own smock that her mother made her, and you could easily see the flower pattern on her smock, and the label of her name 'Shauna.' I like the use of the pastel colors, as well as the precise details of the hair curlers, scissors, and combs used. While I understand that Shauna wants to do more to help her mother, I do not like how the author makes her come off kind of bratty. For example, Shauna admires when she watches her mother do the customers hair, although Shauna says, "...but all I do is put the rollers in the tray." I believe the author's wording could be altered at certain parts in the book to make Shauna seem more admirable than jealous. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

An important aspect of this book is it’s slight sense of multicilrualism. All of the characters in the book are African American, and so some of the words in the book like afro-comb, beads, and braids give the reader an idea of some different styles used on different kinds of hair. I also though it was sweet how in the beginning of the story, the little girl says “mom says all hair is beautiful hair.” The main idea of this story was that it’s nice to be a good helper, as the little girl helps her mother in her salon once a week.
