Quirky, confidence boosting books to brighten up your world. This is my Hair when I wake up This is my Hair when I see a bear... Todd Parr's books blaze with primary colours, positive messages and the kind of humour that elicits giggles from kids and knowing smiles from adults. The statements range from straightforward reassurances like it's okay to be short to slapstick silliness like it's okay to put a fish in your hair. In Todd Parr's world, kisses make you feel good but mosquito bites make you feel bad; you should brush your teeth every day - but not with peanut butter. The artwork is bold and simple - the characters are stick figures and the text is presented in childlike handwriting. This is Purple Ronnie for primary-schoolers, but with definite crossover appeal into older, even adult, markets. Do read these books. Don't put them in the fridge...
