"Coming on Home Soon"으로 2005년 Caldecott상을 수상하고 2차례 Coretta Scott King Award를 수상한 E. B. Lewis의 아름다운 그림책입니다. 흑인 소녀 케야나의 머리는 다른 흑인들과 마찬가지로 꼬불꼬불한 곱슬머리입니다. 그러다 보니 머리카락이 서로 엉키곤 하지요. 저녁마다 엄마는 케야나의 머리를 조심스럽게 빗어줍니다만, 엉킨 머리를 빗질할 때는 너무 아파서 케야나는 눈물을 찔끔 흘리고는 합니다. 하지만 케야나는 자신의 머리에 대해서 자부심을 갖고 있습니다. 케야나의 머리는 부드러운 양털과 같아서 물레를 이용해서 털실을 짤 수도 있으며, 밭 이랑의 모습과 같이 여러 줄로 땋을 수도 있습니다. 어떤 날은 엄마가 여러 갈래로 땋은 머리 긑에 예쁜 구슬을 달아 주기도 합니다. 길을 걸을 때는 구슬들이 서로 부딪히면서 딸가락 딸가락 리드미커한 소리를 내기도 합니다. 그리고 어떤 날은 머리카락들을 묶지 않으면 머리카락들은 마치 지구와 같이 둥그런 모습을 하기도 합니다. 아이들은 이런 케야나의 헤어스타일을 보고는 너무 무거워 보인다고 놀리기도 하지만, 선생님은 이런 헤어스타일이야말로 하나의 축복이며, 너 자신의 자랑스러운 아이덴터티를 온 세상에 보여주는 하나의 방법이므로 자부심을 가져야 한다고 격려해 주셨습니다.
이제 케야나는 자신의 꼬불꼬불하고 부드러운 머리카락을 사랑합니다. 그리고 오늘은 케야나가 가장 좋아하는 헤어스타일을 했습니다. 양쪽으로 머리를 땋았는데 마치 머리에 양 날개가 달린 것 같았습니다. 케야나는 머리에 있는 날개를 퍼덕이며 하늘을 나는 상상을 해봅니다...
자신의 특징을 나타내주는 것을 창피해 하거나 숨기려 하지말고 오히려 자부심을 갖고 사랑해야 한다는 것을 깨닫게 해주는 내용입니다.

Book Description
This whimsical, evocative story about a girl named Keyana encourages African-American children to feel good about their special hair and be proud of their heritage. A BlackBoard Children's Book of the Year. Full-color illustrations
Publishers Weekly
In this gracefully told story, a young African-American heroine celebrates her lovely head of hair as part of her heritage.
School Library Journal
A young African-American girl describes the familiar mother-daughter nightly ritual of combing the tangles out of her hair. When she cries because it hurts, her sympathetic mother tells her how lucky she is to have such beautiful hair. Imaginatively, the woman goes on to say that she can spin it into a fine, soft bun or "plant rows of braids" along her scalp, prompting her daughter to think of other wonderful things she likes about her hair. The superb watercolor illustrations move from the intimacy and security of Keyana's bedroom to the neighborhood streets and finally to the whole world as her mother's imagery becomes reflected in the art. Keyana's hair is spun on a spinning wheel, becomes part of rows of plants in a garden, and merges with a globe of the whole world. The child's favorite style, however, is two ponytails that flap like wings on each side of her head, and the final picture is of Keyana triumphantly flying free against the blue sky. Pictures and text reflect the expanding horizons of the child's world as she learns to be proud of her distinctive hair and her heritage. Carolivia Herron's Nappy Hair (Knopf, 1997) and Alexis De Veaux's The Enchanted Hair Tale (HarperCollins, 1991) treat the same subject well, but this book has a simpler text that can be used both as a read-aloud to a group or on a mother's lap. A very special book about self-acceptance.
Booklist
Like Rochelle's Jewels, reviewed above, this picture book is a celebration of African American identity. There is no real story, just an upbeat message about a young girl, Kenyana, who enjoys all the things she can do with her hair. Sometimes it hurts when her mother combs through the tangles, but it is great to wear it in braids with beads that tap and clack, or in two ponytails that stick out, or to let it surround her head like a globe, Afro style. As always, Lewis' watercolors are masterful, showing the child as part of a lively community, warm in her mother's embrace at home, her curls as thick as a forest or like a vine winding upward to reach the sky.

Kirkus Reviews
Tarpley's first book for children joins a growing list of titles about African-American hair--linking it to issues of self- esteem and acceptance. Keyana tells how her mother sits her down each night to comb her hair and to rub coconut oil into her scalp; Mama's touch and her words are always heartening. Keyana is lucky to have her head of hair because ``it's beautiful and you can wear it in any style you choose.'' It can be woven into a puffy bun, braided into corn rows, grown into an Afro style that is partly a political statement, or pulled into two ponytails that ``stick out on either side of my head and slap in the air like a pair of wings,'' making her feel free enough to fly. Lewis's imaginative and warm interpretations of these exchanges as well as the inclusion of bits of African-American cultural history expand the personal content. |
