Dern Good Books
When Dunn-Dern’s daughter was younger, Lisa walked into bookstores
expecting to see books depicting families that looked like hers.
Finding very few, she vowed to write one. The result: her first
children’s book, “Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow,” and the subsequent
books in the series. They represent not only Lisa’s family but also
the millions of other multicultural families here in the U.S. and
around the globe.

visits sick children in the hospital every week.
