Title: Hairs/Pelitos
Author: Sandra Cisneros
Illustrator: Terry Ybanez
Genre: Realistic Fiction (Multicultural)
Ages: 1st+
Summary:
A book from the point of view of a little girl who is exploring diversity within her home. She uses descriptive language to illustrate the different types of hair that she sees within her family and friends. This story celebrates the diversity found all around us. It is written in both Spanish and English so people of different languages may appreciate the storytelling aspects that prove the point that diversity is everywhere.
Illustrations:
The illustrations of this story are collage based. They create a stitches together feel that is reminiscent of the theme of the story about our diversity coming together to create a wonderful world or in this case, a beautiful book.
In the classroom:
Students will be able to explore diversity through this multicultural story. It allows students to explore language differences through a story that is highlighting how our differences are beautiful and important. This story explores how a young girl sees the world and how she appreciates beauty in her family's differences. I believe that will really resonate with students.
