So which style will I choose for ‘My Hair’? Could it be cornrows, braids or dreadlocks. Maybe I’ll have a mohawk or bantu knots or a twist out.
We join a visit to Mr Dawn, the hairdresser, where big decisions are made ahead of a birthday. Mrs Dawn’s magazines have lots of options, yet the salon is full of further choices. We learn the variety of hair styles worn by the family, from Daddy’s shorn head and full beard, to Aunty’s neat, shaved head. Then there are all the imagined possibilities…
‘It’s been 45 minutes,’ cries Mrs Dawn/ ‘What will you do with your hair?’
We’ve been party to the rhyming information, and the window of visitors and information. We are ripe with excitement as to the final decision. So which one will it be?
‘My Hair’ is a beautiful, inviting, celebratory picture book, destined to be read, recited and loved. Bookwagon delights in this very lovely title.
