The Map in My Hair is a touching mother, daughter story about love, heritage, and courage. McKenzie, the main character, learned about the history of cornrows from her mother while getting her hair done. Journey with McKenzie as she learns that cornrows are more than a hairstyle, it's a tradition of beauty that has been carried through generations. She learns that certain hair patterns indicated secret messages, and escape routes. McKenzie was surprised to know that cornrows were a way for enslaved Africans to communicate with each other... and so much more!
