Hair by Kate Petty

We wear our hair in lots of different ways. Sometimes it is to keep cool. Sometimes it's to look nice for a special occasion. This book, perfect to share with a young child, has photographs of different hairstyles from all around the world. Published in association with Oxfam this series aims to draw parallels between children from many different cultures.
Speech bubbles on the pages provide an insight into the depicted children's lives and show a range of thoughts and feelings that are instantly recognisable to all, regardless of background -- Jake Hope Achuka
