pickWhen buying my #DoubleSpin I found out that Write Yourself A Lantern is actually some kind of notebook. I ordered it anyway, but came along this illustrated poem as well. Since there is not much to read in my actual #DoubleSpin I count this one for the challenge.
This poem is about hair and a racism. It's strong and impressive. In few words Acevedo shows us how political hair is, how it shows oppression and white privilege.

pickAll days can be improved by reading picture books with dinosaurs. 🦖 🦕
If Dinosaurs Had Hair is deliciously silly with great art. Whack of the P-Rex stretches the narrative to make an illustrated (sadly black and white) short chapter book for young readers, but refreshingly doesn't seem to push any educational content! Just fun monster hunting!
pick5 ⭐Adam Rex is always sure to make you laugh and he has done it again. Our main child has gum stuck in their hair. Scissors don‘t work they get stuck as well. As different people walk through the door, they have different ideas on how to remove the gum, and they all get stuck in the hair. Until eventually, the kid can‘t take it anymore. He yells for everyone to leave him alone please and walks out the door.
This book was so amazing to read. I thought the style of the artist and author fit in so well together. The way that the author describes the feeling of a haircut shows how important it is culturally and of course mentally. I really recommend this book for all ages.
pickCrown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut by Derrick Barnes. 2017. This book has some really unique illustrations because of how it was painted. The lines are subtle but also crisp at the same time. The author says that same line in the book which I think is telling of the book and its illustrations. Every page tells another great part about getting your hair cut and how wonderful it is.
pickSuch a sweet picture book! I may have teared up a bit reading as the mom searched for ways to support her daughter. This story touches on social aesthetic elements of being trans when Trinity expresses wanting long hair because she's a trans girl and it will help other people see who she is, and it drives into autism experiences when discussing the way Triniti struggles with the sensory stimulus of having long hair. #LGBTQ #Autism #LGBTQIA
