Summary

DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR An entertaining picture book that teaches the importance of asking for permission first as a young girl attempts to escape the curious hands that want to touch her hair.

It seems that wherever Aria goes, someone wants to touch her hair. In the street, strangers reach for her fluffy curls; and even under the sea, in the jungle, and in space, she's chased by a mermaid, monkeys, and poked by aliens until, finally, Aria has had enough![2]

Pros

One reviewer commenting of this book, Abigail claimed this is an engaging story is joined to cute, appealing artwork in Don't Touch My Hair!, which describe as a creative, fairy-tale take on a common childhood problem: respecting personal, bodily boundaries. The concern of learning young people about their right to reject unwanted touching (of any kind), and to respect other's similar right not to be touched is something Miller addresses in her brief afterword, in which she hopes her book can be used to further this goal. This is book is also entertaining and non-judgmental, it can do so in a way that is most helpful. Recommended to fans of Miller's artwork, and to anyone searching for children's stories about setting and respecting personal boundaries. [3]

Tiffany Mack speaks up her opinion about this book, this is a cute book for kids to learn that it is ok to set boundaries and to be different. This book is about a little girl with natural hair that has grown big. People always come to her to ask if "They can touch her hair" and hardly ever asks without touching first. This books shows that it is ok to have to big hair, to say no and to set boundaries for those who enter your personal space. [4]
