Lily and the Magic Comb
Lily and the Magic Comb written by VV Brown and published by Woke Kidz Books is an enchanting story celebrating diversity and identity. The adventurous tale empowers children to become whatever they want to be. The book was created to help fill the void in the children’s book market. You are more likely to find a book depicting an animal than featuring a black or ethnic minority character. It was featured in the Independent's top 12 children's books empowering black characters. Here is a smashing review by Candid Cocoa and another from Music.Football.Fatherhood
“I adored illustrator Kate Hazell's powerful central spread with Lily's brown-skinned face taking up the entire space from edge and edge. Hazell's eye-catching kaleidoscopic scenes are full of energy, and evoke that feeling of being in the middle of a quirky dream. Her attention to detail over the variation in Lily's hair-curl pattern is also fabulous.”
