Written by Graham Tether and illustrated by Roy McKie, The Hair Book is a wonderful introduction into the world of hair. With colorful illustrations and on-target rhymes, children will laugh as they learn. Reading The Hair Book to your children is a wonderful way to encourage them to appreciate and respect differences in others and to be proud of their own unique qualities.

Tie-in Activity: Draw a simple face on a paper plate. Place it on your child’s high-chair tray and then give her a few strands of cooked, cooled spaghetti so she can arrange the “hair.” With a few nibbles, an older child can give the face a haircut.
