Description

Meet local author LaTonya Yvette and celebrate the release of her new kids book: The Hair Book. Craft Project and Refreshments included. The Hair Book is a bold, graphic picture book celebrating all types of hair. With striking, colorful graphics and simple alliterative text, this paper-over-board book with thick interior stock features poufy hair, wavy hair, Afro hair, hair covered in a hijab, and more. The message is clear: no matter what you look like, you are beautiful, valued, and welcome everywhere. The book is appropriate for toddlers and up and is a great conversation starter for kids of all ages. The event is presented by The Athens Cultural Center and The D.R. Evarts Library. We will read the book with LaTonya Yvette, author and neighbor, then make a craft based on the book!
