Mophead : How Your Difference Makes A Difference
Hardback Edition: 1
At school, Selina is ridiculed as mophead for her big, frizzy hair. She ties it any which way to try to be like the other kids. But at one point (Sam Hunt plays a role) she decides to embrace her difference, let her hair out, be wild. We follow what that does -- PhD, the Queen, Obama, etc -- until she becomes poet laureate and her tokotoko, her stick, has a fue, a Samoan fly whisk, on the end. It looks like a mop! This is an inspirational book, illustrated by the author -- New Zealand's bestselling poet laurette --and aimed at young readers and adults that tells a story about a Pasifika women embracing her uniqueness.
