I can't wait to read this to my kiddies next week! Sandra Cisneros is simply the best! The illustrator, Terry Ybanez, did an amazing job as well. The kids in my class are making self portraits with various materials and they love recreating their hair, so this book is a perfect fit for my theme of the week.

Found the illustrations distracting. The Spanish was not as prominent as I would have liked.

I checked this book out at the library to read it to my nieces. We all liked, it's short and sweet, and I loved the illustration.

A children's book whose words are taken from part of "House on Mango Street." The book is specifically about all types of hair in her family. A super cute book and an example of how sometimes canonical literature can be made into a children's picture book.

Read for 5427 class
Dually told in English and Spanish, the narrator explains the different types and styles of hair the members of her family have. The best hair is her mother's, which smells like freshly baked bread and home. This picture book is an excerpt from The House on Mango Street. In all, I thought this book was unnecessary and not noteworthy the way Nappy Hair is. It makes very little sense and has no action or plot or even pathos.

Dual language (Sp/En) picture book with reflections on the diversity in one family. I didn't like how it kept switching perspective from 1st to 2nd person. The purple people also seemed out of place.
