Hairs • Pelitos
Sandra Cisneros, Alfred A. Knopf, NY 1994
 
In this exquisite and loving Bilingual book, a child describes how each person in the family has hair that looks and acts different; Papa's is like a broom, Kiki's like fur, and Mama's has the smell of warm bread. Richly colored paintings, framed with designs illustrate a multi-colored family (including purple, blue or green skin and purple hair) and their different hair types. Written in Spanish and English. From Cisneros' "The House on Mango Street".
