A Girl and Her Curls Rick Riordan had just completed UlyssesMom and daughter, Jenna and Jasia, wrote "A Girl and Her Curls" to empower and inspire. Jasia used to come home every day from school wishing she had straight hair like her friends. Being a mom and diversity, equity, and inclusion professional, Jenna set out to teach her daughter to love her curls. It was imperative that Jasia loved who she is! Loving what makes you unique is an important lesson for every child, and even some grown ups need a reminder.
