Good Hair

Freda Chiu’s illustrations are spirited and engaging, while Yvonne Sewankambo’s story holds a message for all children and, in fact, all people, wherever they may be: to embrace their differences. * Books + Publishing *
This is a lovely positive book about image, chasing down the array of different hair types which are presented everyday. * ReadPlus *
An entertaining story that has much deeper meaning than first appears, Good Hair is an inclusive reminder that self-acceptance and embracing our differences are key paths to happiness – a lesson that perhaps everyone could remind themselves of once in a while! Sewankambo’s linguistic choices are rhythmic and lyrical, and Chiu’s illustrations are bright, drawing the reader into the story. * CBCA Reading Time *
