There’s a lot of love, and differences, in today’s episode!

Hair Love, by Matthew A. Cherry, illustrated by Vashti Harrison, is a story about a family’s enduring love and devotion, as told through real life challenges. We’ll compare the book to the Oscar-winning short film of the same name to reveal significant differences between the two.
