Sisters Kyra Milan (13) and Kali Brown (9), alongside their mother Shenika Paris, have released their second book, "Koily Kurls Presents: My Natural Hair Adventure A Colouring And Activity Book," now available on Amazon. The book, designed for children ages 4-12, features coloring pages, puzzles, games, affirmations, and a DIY natural hair project to encourage self-love and pride in natural hair.
The release follows their debut title, "Koily Kurls Presents: The Girls With The Kurls," published in June 2022 and also available on Amazon. The sisters, who run the brand Koily Kurls, stated their mission clearly: "We want kids to love their hair and love who they are. Natural hair is beautiful, magical, and powerful just like them!"
This publication matters because it addresses a gap in children's literature and educational materials regarding natural hair representation. For many children, especially those with curly or coily hair textures, mainstream media often lacks positive imagery that reflects their appearance. By providing an engaging activity book specifically celebrating natural hair, the authors offer a tool for parents and educators to foster early self-acceptance and combat potential insecurities.
The impact extends beyond individual confidence to cultural representation in publishing. Young authors from diverse backgrounds creating content that reflects their experiences contribute to a more inclusive industry landscape. Resources like this book can be used in classrooms and homes to normalize diverse hair textures and promote discussions about identity and beauty standards from a young age.
Both books are available for purchase globally on Amazon. More information about the Koily Kurls brand and products can be found at www.koilykurls.com.
