As someone with very long hair, who recently had a bit of a cut, I could relate even more to Bubbie when her locks got shortened. There was a sadness at first, watching the pieces of hair fall to the wayside, in that they had traveled so far with her, but also the happiness of new growth that would come. <i>Bubbie's Magical Hair</i> by Abbe Rolnick and artist Lynda Porter is a children's picture book that will touch every heart that reads it, old and young." --Erin Nicole Cochran, reviewer for <i>Readers' Favorite</i><br><br>"<i>Bubbie's Magical Hair </i>is exactly that - magic. The story affectionately invites you to a world where your memories and emotions intertwine with the graceful characters. Mesmerizing words and illustrations surprise with twists and twirls as you are happily carried off by your imagination on the locks of Bubbie's hair." --Shelley Muzylowski Allen, Glass Sculptor/Artist<br><br>"As a grandmother of young children and an author of books of creativity for young children, I feel particularly drawn to this beautiful and emotionally deep story of<i> Bubbie's Magical Hair</i>. The emotional connection is strong and deeply important for anyone who has ever loved." --MaryAnn F. Kohl, Author/ Educator, Bright Ring Publishing<br><br>"Grandmothers can be profoundly inspirational and life-affirming. Bubbie sweeps into view on a magic carpet with her long, black locks flowing behind her. Lovely, lilting, descriptive language and intricate, glowing illustrations are completely interwoven as readers discover Bubbie's many wonderful attributes. She twirls, laughs, tickles, and tells tales of her life. As Bubbie's hair changes from dark to gray to silver 'through the seasons of time, ' her engagements with her growing grandchildren also change. When Bubbie cuts her hair, it leads to new magic, for she is always there in spirit and in the hearts of those who love her. . Beautifully hued illustrations flow with her hair.... Readers will note delightful details and quickly recognize the plethora of differently named grandmothers seen all around the world. A book to read over and over with Bubbie, Abuela, Halmoni, or whatever her special name is.
