Frisettes en fête

Description

When you have curly hair, it gets tangled, it pulls, and it hurts! Plus, fairy-tale princesses always have long, straight hair... but it looks so sad! Chris Raschka's little girls, on the other hand, are cute enough to eat; they love to have fun, and above all, they have curls and heads full of party ideas. They've turned their hair into a game and transform it at will. Braids, twists, dreadlocks, buns, short hair, long hair... Curly hair is really cool! A gallery of portraits, each more lively and endearing than the last. A very personal brushstroke blending bright colors and pastels. Drawings full of roundness and softness, movement suggested by a simple yet effective pencil stroke. The text reads like a little song accompanying illustrations that undulate and sparkle to the rhythm of the pages and the girls' hair in a world of joie de vivre and celebration.
