A positive and affirming celebration of differences, diversity, and individuality through a close look at hair of all colors, textures, and styles.

How do you wear your hair -- braided with beads, blowing in the breeze, or short as short can be? In this lively look at locks, Virginia Kroll shows us that no matter how you wear it, hair is an important part of you.

Hair is our most versatile feature and kids everywhere have created their own unique styles. Exquisite paintings of kids from many cultures show us the beauty, splendor, and wonder of all kinds of hairstyles for all kinds of kids from around the world.
