That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable", "good hair".

Happy Within/Feliz Por Dentro


Book Description

Happy within is a bilingual children's book that will help children from around the world learn and appreciate self love. The idea behind the book is to help provide children with the support and confidence to be happy with themselves and within their own skin. No matter where in the world they are from, whether the race, the background, etc. It is a positive children's book teaching them to be proud of themselves, proud of who they are and of their uniqueness. Only through self love and believing in oneself it is possible to be happy within. I created a bilingual series for bilingual families and/or to help children/parents learn another language together.
