Description
From two bestselling creators comes a lyrical and heartfelt picture book about a multiracial family’s trip to the beach that’s an ode to family, community, diversity, and—most importantly—fabulous beach hair!
When I wake up with the wildest bed head
and Mommy and Daddy do too
Mommy says we all have beach hair,
so Daddy says, “Guess we should go to the beach.”
At the beach, everyone has beach hair. There’s twisty and twirly hair, flossy and glossy hair, hair that’s barely there, and hair that’s everywhere.
The best part about a beach day is the belonging and joy that everyone feels when they let their hair run as wild and free as the sea.
Reviews
"Making a lively picture book debut, Woodfolk (Nothing Burns as Bright as You) pays homage to seaside ’dos of all kinds. . . It’s a well-observed celebration that’s a day at the beach."
"A radiant love letter to family, beachy summer days, and the freedom to let your hair down."
