Redd wanted to transfer her love of the self-care ritual onto her little girl and children around the world. The quick read features the full lips, brown skin, glorious locs, buoyant curls, and soft caresses that have made up the nightly routine of Black families for generations. Redd merged her annoyance with her talents to write Bedtime Bonnet. Like when little children are going to bed, they are just laying their head on top of that cotton pillowcase and it stresses me out.” Even the Black ones, they don’t wear anything to bed on their head, which now is a huge plot hole that causes me stress. She continued, “I just didn’t know how to explain it to her because of the cartoon characters she would watch. “She only saw me and grandma in a bonnet.” So it’s not like I was hanging out with the cousins and she was able to see other people her age,” said Redd. “Because when you’re 3 or 4, you are not going to sleepovers, you know what I mean?
