Don’t Touch My Hair!

Wherever Aria goes, someone wants to touch her hair. In the street, strangers reach for her fluffy curls; and even under the sea, in the jungle, in space, she’s chased by a mermaid, monkeys and poked by aliens… until, finally, Aria has had enough! This humorous picture book speaks to a national conversation on strangers touching black hair, and sparks an important conversation on personal boundaries for children as Aria explains that her hair should not be touched without asking for permission first. Commercial, imaginative and fun, Don’t Touch My Hair! can be used to teach young readers about personal boundaries and asking for permission – and that it’s all right to be told “no” as well.

“This book is so honest and real and funny. It’s important, too, for young black girls to read, as well as all children. All kids should be taught how to set boundaries for themselves and what is right to do in social settings. This is an excellent book that is also very funny and entertaining.”
