This week in of our classrooms we have been reading Hair Love written by Matthew A. Cherry and illustrated by Vashti Harrison. The students really enjoyed this funny, heartfelt story of a African-American father learning how to do his daughter’s hair for a “special day”. Hair Love is also an Academy Award winning film! In this case, the movie came first and then the book. Students watched the movie, too, and were asked to look for and think about the similarities and differences. Hair Love is a great book and movie to share with our kids now to celebrate family, love and diversity.
