The Oscar award winning animation film, Hair love is set to have an audio book version and Blue ivy Carter is going to narrate it.
“Hair Love” is a sweet and joyful story about an African-American father learning to style his daughter’s natural hair in his wife’s absence. The film uses words sparingly; the characters’ gestures and expressions take viewers through the father’s commonplace but poignant endeavor.
Last May, it was released as a children’s book with illustrations by Vashti Harrison. Cherry’s short film; which he wrote, directed and co-produced with Karen Rupert Toliver; will also be developed into an animated TV show at HBO Max called “Young Love,” based on the characters from “Hair Love.”
Director of Hair love, Mathew Cherry announced the news earlier on Twitter with a direct link to the audiobook. This adds to Blue Ivy’s already-amazing list of accomplishments behind the microphone. The bag securing 8 -year-old has a number of achievements under her belt including her 2020 BET Award for Beyonce’s stellar track “Brown Skin Girl.” She’s officially cemented herself in history as the youngest recipient of a BET Award.
It’s amazing to see little Blue Ivy Carter narrate this story after the uncouth comments people made about her hair previously on social media. Despite the haters, Blue is showing off all her black girl magic with this one! Congrats.
