Welcome to Litsy!

One of my read alouds this week. Not high action but definitely a good book for inspiring self love and father daughter relationships.

Hair Love has to be one of the cutest books that I've read! This RF novel was written by Matthew A. Cherry, and went on to not only become a short film, but win an Oscar for best animated short film! This book is about a dad who does his daughters hair for the very first time. It's an amazing book that people love for its diversity! It's definitely one of my favorites and something that I would recommend for your classroom! #ucflae3414sp21

An amazing story, this New York Times Bestseller, Hair Love captures the heart of everyone as an RF story. We follow Zuri as she and her father try to find the perfect hairstyle for an important event with some troubles along the way.

Zuri was on a quest for the “perfect” hairstyle, and in mom‘s absence recruits her dad for a bit of help. After several failed attempts, they found some resources and worked together to achieve the “perfect” look for her mother‘s return home. This RF book will melt your heart when you witness the father-daughter relationship.

Hair Love is an RF, RA book would be an amazing addition to any classroom library. The thematic elements of self esteem, family, and love are sure to resonate with both students and teachers. Young Zuri loves the many things her hair can do, but on a very special day she wants an equally special hairstyle. With the help of her dad, Zuri embarks on a hair journey that she hopes will rise to the occasion.

Hair Love is a realistic fiction book that teaches young readers to love their hair no matter what! This book is a New York Times best seller and Amelia Bloomer Book List winner! This book is great for read alouds as well.

This RF, RA would be an awesome choice to add to yo collection. The theme of this book is that we are all beautiful doesn‘t matter the type of hair we have. Zuri wants to look special for the arrival of her mother. Her dad gets into the journey with her and tries different hair styles until they get the perfect one.

This RF-RA book “Hair Love” by Matthew A. Cherry illustrated by Vashiti Harrison is such a phenomenal book about the unconditional love between a father and a daughter.. and her hair. No matter what struggles arise, with love for yourself and others, there‘s always a solution! 🤩🤩

I chose this book for..obvious reasons😂 I, just like my girl Zuri in Hair Love have a lot of hair to love! Growing up, I was bullied for my hair, stereotyped because of my hair, & most importantly I never once saw a girl who looked like me in a book growing up. People don‘t understand that this changes the way we view things! Due to my experience, I try to read/provide books like this that show that missing representation for ALL students to see!

LOVE this book and it‘s beautiful message. I recently watched the short film and that also got me in my feels!

I chose Hair Love by Matthew A. Cherry and illustrations by Vashti Harrison for my TeachLive because it seemed so heart warming ♡. This book did not disappoint!

I chose Hair Love because of the diversity within the story. It has a beautiful message at the end that I think everyone should read!

I chose this book because of the beautiful illustrations and message.

I loved everything about this book. I saw the movie before I knew it was a book. Soooooo cute.

Unwittingly downloaded the audiobook (thought j was getting a short film🤷🏾‍♀️) super cute but I wanted to see the illustrations.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Zuri gets her hair done by her dad, and certain styles makes her feel certain ways, but today is speical and she has to have the most special hair ever. It‘s up to her, her dad, a tablet and some videos, but they will create an awesome do for an awesome day. I love that this book shows Dad doing hair. Readers need to see more of these things, and that traditional gender roles need not apply.

Zuri shows off her hair in all of its awesomeness. When Zuri‘s mom is away it‘s up to her dad to figure out a special hairstyle for a special day. After a few misses, her dad rocks it when he masters the perfect hairstyle for the day.

Also, my kids love the cat in this story. It adds a whole layer of hilarity.

This book is a RF and can be read IR in a classroom. I can really make a connection with this book so I can only imagine how many young girls can relate too. This book is about a young girl who gives her hair a sense of personality in essence but her father tries to help her accomplish getting a look that she might like for a special day. #ucflae3414su19

I picked up a copy as a gift and of course had to read it. Soooo adorable! 💖💖💖💖
