BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
A young boy named Lovie never thought he looked different until he and his dads moved from Jamaica to Spruce Cove. His hair is curly and wild and Lovie loves it! Over the Summer, it forms a dread in just one spot and Lovie is very happy about it until the kids at school make fun of him. He is very sad. How will Lovie learn to be proud about his hair?
A Single Dreadlock is about finding the courage to be yourself, and the reader can learn to have compassion for others who look different. I enjoyed the vibrant art of Fernandes. Lovie is being raised by two dads. They are also Jewish.
