"Hair, It's a Family Affair" by Mylo Freeman (Cassava Republic)
"Hair, it's a Family Affair" by Mylo Freeman is a superb BAME / POC celebration of natural hair in all its shapes, colours and styles.
The story opens up as we visit a family with vibrant and varied hairstyles, with a tale that trips off the tongue pleasingly when read aloud, almost lyrical and singsong - absolutely perfect for younger kids of any race or gender.
Full of colourful illustrations and some truly awesome characters, this is the sort of book we love to champion on the blog - where kids can find themselves and their families in the story that breaks away from the atypical 'picture book' defaults when it comes to depicting home life.
Very much in love with this, despite only 2/3rds of our family unit having glorious wild and amazing hair!
Sum this book up in a sentence: A fantastic frizzy, wild and natural glimpse at amazing hairstyles for one family depicted in glorious colourful illustrations with fun bouncy storytelling.
"Hair, It's a Family Affair" by Mylo Freeman is out on 16th April 2019, published by Cassava Republic (kindly supplied for review).

"Princess Arabella is a Big Sister" by Mylo Freeman (Cassava Republic)
The thing is, Arabella can't quite decide which would be more fun. A baby brother to boss around and play with? Or a little sister to turn into a princess and dress up.
Arabella thinks she'd prefer a little sister until she meets Prince Mimoen's sister - Eeek, OK perhaps a little sis wouldn't be that great after all.
So how about a little baby brother then? But when she meets Princess Ling's brothers, they seem to kick up a heck of a rumpus and seem like too much trouble!
It's a lot to think about - but what do do Mum and Dad have in store for Princess Arabella? One thing's for sure, it's going to be fun finding out.
The perfect book for children who are about to become big brothers or sisters themselves, with Mylo's absolutely glorious observational eye giving this book a real lift.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A gorgeous diverse book celebrating the excitement (and a tiny bit of anxiety) around becoming the older sibling.
"Princess Arabella is a Big Sister" by Mylo Freeman is out today, published by Cassava Republic (kindly supplied for review).
