A bird's nest A cow with two horns No, it's Minu's hair and she does NOT like it. Her mother, her father, her grandmother try hard to tame it. But her grandfather is unconcerned...
The illustrations of this charming story give Minu's hair a truly wild, tactile feel as it spills exuberantly through the pages.
"Recommended in all libraries celebrating diversity in hair, skin, and dress, and where books on intergenerational nurturing are needed."--School Library Journal
"This sweet story is both funny and relatable; any young reader with an expansive head of hair will understand the struggles and find reassurance that their hair is amazing as it is...A joyous tribute to the wonder of hair and satisfaction in self-love." -- Booklist
"[A] story that encourages self-acceptance." -- Foreword Reviews
Gayathri Bashi once had a picture book collection of her own. Now she shares it with her equally enthusiastic son. Her hair, much like Minu's, has been the subject of many a story.
