The Curly Haired Unicorn book is more than just a fantasy—it’s rooted in the real-life experiences of the author, a devoted single father who wanted his daughter to feel seen and celebrated. Born and raised in the Caribbean by mixed-race parents, the author grew up surrounded by diversity and an appreciation for all expressions of beauty. Years later, raising his mixed-race daughter in Florida, he noticed how early messages about beauty began to influence her.

In response, he began telling her original bedtime stories featuring strong, unique, and beautiful characters reflecting her image and worth. The Curly Haired Unicorn was one of those stories—and now it’s been lovingly brought to life for all children to enjoy.
