A master of minimalism, he works here in nuanced, impressionistic watercolors and suggests his subjects with a quick stroke of the brush here, a graceful sweep of line there. Bubbling over with affection, and injecting a strong self-esteem boost for girls, hooks's ebullient, poetic text celebrates the innate beauty and freedom of hair that's ''soft like cotton,/ flower petal billowy soft, full of frizz and fuzz.'' Waxing poetic about ''short tight naps'' or ''plaited strands all,'' hooks conjures all the lovely varieties of hairstyles that ''let girls go running free.'' She sings the praises of ''girlpie hair,'' subtly reinforcing her theme with a chorus of descriptive words like ''halo'' and ''crown.'' She also evokes the intimate warmth of mother-daughter time-''sitting still for hands to brush or braid and make the day start hopefully.''
