While my hair grew
(Portuguese edition)
Hair is no simple thing:
If you have straight hair, you wish it was curly.
If you have dark hair, you’d rather be blonde.
If you have short hair, you will it on to grow quickly…
Mila, the hairdresser in this book, understands all this and is able to surprise her clients with the most spectacular transformations. But there are certain sudden changes which aren’t always what we want. And one day, inside the four walls of the her salon, a small tragedy occurred…
A book about hairstyles, changes and cut-and-paste prejudice… and also about the little (big) heartbreaks that we experience as children and help us to grow up.

What they say
Makeovers are metaphors for the discovery and assertion of identity that are intrinsic to the process of growing up. In the case of our narrator here, an unfortunate misunderstanding will give rise to her radical transformation, but it will also allow her to make some surprising discoveries and to cherish what is really important.
