My Hair is as Long as a River by Charlie Castle

My Hair is as Long as a River is a joyful story celebrating the power of being confident in yourself, encouraging children to champion each others differences with empathy and love.
“A joyous poem to individuality and inner strength, gorgeously illustrated with passion and imagination - a must-have for every bookshelf” -- Children's Laureate, Joseph Coelho
"My Hair is as Long as a River is a beautiful celebration of standing out from the crowd and being proud of who you are. Emma’s illustrations are everything you’d expect: warm-hearted, playful and beautifully observed. This is a perfect meeting of text and image. I am off to grow my hair!" -- Helen Stephens
"Gorgeous, poetic and utterly charming – Charlie’s writing flows with quiet confidence, matched beautifully by Emma’s painterly, characterful illustrations." -- Harry Woodgate
"A beautifully illustrated tale about courage, imagination and an unshakeable belief in oneself." -- Jenny Løvlie
