BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Birungi is so frustrated with her hair! She doesn’t even want to go to school. Her understanding parents take her on a walk through town, pointing out what a variety of hair colors and types there are - and that each should be celebrated.
My frustration with this book is that Sewankambo doesn’t actually solve Birungi’s problem - she serves up feel-good platitudes instead. I was hoping for something more than “take good care of your hair” or “love your hair as it is” feelings.
