In Crazy Hair, Bonnie makes a friend who has hair so wild there's even a jungle inside of it! Bonnie ventures through the crazy hair, but she may need more than a comb to tame her friend's insane mane. (Goodreads)
What if you wanted your best friend's two goldfish so much that you'd swap anything for them, even your father? What if your mother came home and found out what you'd done? (Goodreads)

NO PREVIOUS READING OF MATERIAL IS REQUIRED
Teachers can choose to either read the picture books beforehand (copies are available at bookstores) or attend the session in order to familiarize themselves with the author via excerpts.
This session will be organized in terms of workshop for participants to enrich their understanding of the texts with contributions from the group. We will discuss the target audiences for the texts, points of entry, textual interventions and intertextual links which can be established with other verbal or visual texts.
