Beach Hair

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Niña Mata. A mixed-race family spends a day at the beach, where their child confidently notes and appreciates the different types of beach hair (“I see BIG beach hair. And WIG beach hair. TWISTY and TWIRLY and BARELY-THERE beach hair”). This subtle celebration of all kinds of (beach) hair is a perfect read-aloud, employing vivid similes (“Mommy’s [hair] coils into tiny spirals, like all the best seashells in my collection”) and featuring warm and playful digital illustrations.
