The bestselling illustrator of I Am Enough brings to life the story of a boy whose mirror gives him a whole new way of seeing himself.

Chris loves his long, curly hair, so why do his classmates tease him about it? When he looks for answers in his mirror, something wonderfully wild and weird happens- a lady appears with wise words that make him feel like a king! But when he starts acting like a king at school, it's time for another visit to the mirror.

Actor Marchant Davis's uplifting picture book debut encourages us all to look beyond hairstyles-reminding us that styles come and go-and to celebrate one another for who we are. #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Keturah A. Bobo's stunning art brings Chris and his mirror to vibrant life.

Reviews for A Boy and His Mirror

Bright, evocative acrylic illustrations bring Chris and his diverse group of peers to life as he learns to love and accept himself. . . . Empowering message. . . . The highly textured illustrations work in conjunction with the lyrical text across the double-page spreads, moving the story along at a steady pace. A rousing display of pride and self-love and a reminder of the importance of kindness. -Kirkus Reviews
