Synopsis

Bushyhead is a Canada Book Awards winner.

Bushyhead is the story of a young girl, Miranda May, who is teased at school because of her bushy hair. She wishes she had different hair. Her mother takes her to a children's hospital where the children in the ward have no hair. Her mother suggests that Miranda May cut and donate her hair to make wigs for kids who have no hair. They go to the hair salon and the hairdresser cuts Miranda May's hair and donates it. The story is a gentle introduction to the topic of compassion, self-esteem, black hair pride, looking for solutions that help others, and about cancer and hair loss.
