nAn 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. n 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, shes chased by a mermaid, monkeys, and poked by aliens . . . until, finally, Aria has had enough n n Author-illustrator Sharee Miller takes the tradition of appreciation of black hair to a new, fresh, level as she doesnt seek to convince or remind young readers that their curls are beautiful -- she simply acknowledges black beauty while telling a fun, imaginative story.n
