The inspiration for this project came directly from the birth of Brian Lawrence’s daughter Nile. He knew he would read to his daughter, and wanted the first words he read to her to set the pace for the lifelong bond he would share with her. This project is a celebration of the father and daughter relationship, as well as a children’s book. Little Brown Girl is written intentionally to be read by a father figure to a daughter to facilitate a bond based on literacy, spirituality, cultural awareness and active engagement.
