About dawn

     Hi! My name is Dawn Sorden and I am the author of Naturi's Tresses Adventure in Egypt. This book was created in an effort for young girls of color to embrace their beautiful, kinky curls. As a mother of two girls, I have always wanted my children to love who and what they are, that includes their hair. I always taught them that beauty lies within and it is also enhanced by the confidence that you exude. This can only be done by loving every aspect of YOU. 

     I am also a teacher who has worked in Philadelphia for a number of years. I believe that children grow through literature and what better way to allow them to learn but through images that reflect them. My hope is that every child will develop a sense of self-worth, self-love and the knowledge to know that they are perfect the way they are.
