Sesame Street head writer Joey Mazzarino wrote this for his adopted daughter, Segi, when he noticed how - after she began playing with dolls - she started to dislike her own hair and began wanting straight, blond hair. Instead of ignoring the problem (and potential future self-esteem issue), he immediately told his daughter that HER hair was beautiful and then proceeded to reinforce that message with positive media images and messaging.
Something we as black children (and adults) get very little of, if at all. This is soooo great, enjoy!
