Follows a Sikh father and his daughter as they go through their daily hair routineEvery morning Papa combs through his daughter's waves like he does his own--parting it down the middle, using coconut oil to get all the tangles out. Some days he braids her hair in two twists down the side of her face. Other days he weaves it into one long braid hanging down her back. But her favorite style is when he combs her hair in a tight bun on the top of her head, just like the joora he wears every day under his turban. They call this their hair twin look! This charming story about the special hair bond between a Sikh father and daughter is sure to inspire readers to boldly celebrate and proudly share their own family traditions
