A Black Girl and Her Braids by Jaylene Clark Owens releases on January 6, 2026! This story is a celebration of the beauty, culture, and creativity woven into every braid, written especially for children ages 3–7.

​

Our goal is to get 5,000 copies of A Black Girl and Her Braids into the hands of children across the U.S. and we need your help to make it happen! Through our Sponsorship Train, teachers and educators who don’t have the budget will still be able to bring this book to their students, thanks to sponsors like you.
