Eu e o Meu Cabelo Cacheado
Afrodite, a joyful 9-year-old girl from a Brazilian suburb, struggles with her curly hair due to negative comments. A kind teacher helps her embrace her unique beauty, teaching her a valuable lesson in courage and self-love.
Afrodite loved to jump rope and laugh with her friends, but there was one thing that always made her sad—her hair. People often said things like, "Why is your hair so wild?" or "You should straighten it." Afrodite sighed, wishing she had smooth, straight hair like the girls on TV. "Why can't my hair be like theirs?" she wondered, her heart heavy. Little did she know, this was just the beginning of her journey.
One day, Afrodite's class had a picture day at school. She tried to comb her hair flat, but it only got bigger and bigger. "Oh no, this won't work!" she exclaimed, feeling frustrated. Her friend Luiza said, "Don't worry, Afrodite, it'll be okay!" But Afrodite couldn't help but feel like she was the only one with this problem. It felt like her hair was a big, tangled obstacle she couldn't overcome.
As the school year went on, Afrodite tried all sorts of ways to change her hair. She begged her mom for special hair gels and even tried tying it up tightly. "Why won't it just stay flat?" she grumbled. Her classmates giggled sometimes, making her feel even more alone. Every attempt seemed to fail, and Afrodite felt like she was losing a battle against her own hair.
Overwhelmed, Afrodite decided to stop trying. "Maybe I should just give up and accept it," she said to herself. She felt like she was stuck in a never-ending loop of disappointment. "It's just too hard," she sighed, feeling defeated. All she wanted was to fit in and be like everyone else. It seemed like her curly hair would never allow that.
One day, a new teacher named Miss Camila joined the school. She saw Afrodite and exclaimed, "Your hair is like a crown, so full of life and beauty!" Afrodite was surprised and said, "Really? You think so?" Miss Camila smiled warmly and said, "Absolutely, it makes you unique!" Hearing this, Afrodite felt a spark of hope. Maybe her hair wasn't so bad after all.
Afrodite began to see her hair in a new light. She started wearing it proudly, with a flower tucked in one side. Her friends noticed the change and said, "Wow, Afrodite, you look amazing!" She smiled and replied, "I feel amazing too!" With courage in her heart, Afrodite realized her hair was a beautiful part of who she was. She embraced her curls with joy and confidence.
