My goddaughter Cecily just celebrated her third birthday, and I was so excited to gift Hannah Lee's cute rhyming picture book, My Hair, to her after our day at the zoo!
Allen Fatimaharan's warm and colorful illustrations are so fun. (And I have to mention that my goddaughter's mother had no idea I was giving her this book - the similar hairdos right down to the blue bows are a total coincidence!)
Like my goddaughter, the little girl in the book has a birthday to celebrate, and she has an important decision to make: how to style her hair!
My birthday's coming up so soon,
I'll need new clothes to wear.
But most of all, I need to know,
How shall I style my hair?
Joyous and vibrant, this picture book captures perfectly the excitement of getting ready for a celebration, as well as showcasing a dazzling array of intricate hairstyles.
Off we go to the hairdresser's.
To get it done professionally.
As for what style I choose,
You'll have to wait and see!
Which hair style does the little girl choose? Her Mommy has an idea. You'll have to read the book to find out what they decide!
Oh, and here's my goddaughter's birthday hair - courtesy of her Mommy, not a hair salon...Happy Birthday to this sweet girl!
