My Hair is as Long as a River is a joyful celebration of being proud of who you are, from debut picture book creators Charlie Castle and Emma Farrarons.
People don’t always understand the boy with long hair. But he knows that his hair is a part of who he is and who he can be - soft and strong, wild and still, fierce and gentle. It can be as long as a river, as steep as a waterfall and as fierce as a tempest. It's a drawbridge to rescue a Prince, and a rope to escape from a dragon!
Step into an extraordinary world of imagination and adventure, and discover the magic of being unique.
