"Like the plumage of an exotic bird, our hairstyles express our personalities, cultures and ideals of beauty. But unlike a bird, we can change our feathers! This sweet dual-language book shows the playful beauty of Ethiopian hairstyles through the eyes of children, who revel in the abundance of possibilities (even if it requires patience). Lush watercolor portraits celebrate the beauty and diversity of contemporary Ethiopian hairstyles and dual-language text in English and Tigrinya support bilingual emerging readers." -- publisher
