No matter your hair, you are welcome everywhere.
Synopsis
The Hair Book by LaTonya Yvette and Illustrated by Amanda Jones is a bold, graphic book celebrating all types of hair in two formats – paper-over-board picture book and a board book for the littlest readers – publishing simultaneously.
With striking, colorful graphics and simple alliterative text, this colorful read-aloud features poufy hair, wavy hair, Afro hair, hair covered in a hijab, and more. The message is clear: no matter what you look like, you are beautiful, valued and welcome everywhere.
#MelAndNikkiReview
The Hair Book is a great children’s book that is all about inclusion no matter how your hair looks like. We absolutely adored this book and how many different ways/styles you can have your hair.
For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 5 stars out of 5! It was neat to go through each page and see if we knew anyone with that specific hair. We were able to name a few people that we knew and we came up with why we love their specific hair. It was great fun and of course we picked our own hair. It was a great way to boost our self-esteem and how our hair makes us amazing!
