Praise for The Good Hair Day

***STARRED REVIEW*** “Combined with backmatter offering helpful “conversation starters” around “gender, identity, and self-expression,” this tender validation of one boy’s emotional experiences around his gender presentation is a valuable, affirming tale for all children. A heartwarming story that’s ultimately about far more than hair.”
Kirkus Reviews

Noah's sweet story is a tidy example of how natural desires of self-expression are squashed by the arbitrary rules and roles of our toxic gender binary. Kids will have zero problem relating, and adults may find themselves unexpectedly moved, too, by the undeniable truths on display.
Booklist

***STARRED REVIEW*** "An affirming, supportive community sets The Good Hair Day apart...The back matter provides gentle and clear conversation starters which will prove indispensable for educators and families seeking vocabulary to use when discussing gender, identity, and self-expression."
