***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.

***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."
