<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Aria loves her soft and bouncy hair, but must go to extremes to avoid people who touch it without permission until, finally, she speaks up.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An entertaining picture book that teaches the importance of asking for permission first as a young girl attempts to escape the curious hands that want to touch her hair.</b> <p/> It seems that 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, and in space, she's chased by a mermaid, monkeys, and poked by aliens . . . until, finally, Aria has had enough! <p/> Author-illustrator Sharee Miller takes the tradition of appreciation of black hair to a new, fresh, level as she doesn't seek to convince or remind young readers that their curls are beautiful -- she simply acknowledges black beauty while telling a fun, imaginative story.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Don't Touch My Hair</i>: </b><b>An ALA Children's Notable Book</b><b><br></b>* [Sharee] Miller tells it like it is.
