Author Reading: Shraya's "God Loves Hair"

For all those interested in Shraya's God Loves Hair, I found a reading of the text by the author himself. This clip covers the first few stories of the book - have a listen! This could also be an interesting way to present the text to your class if you didn't have the funds to buy the book, although I find that the vibrant illustrations bring another level of meaning to the text.  To those who are considering using the book in your classroom I would love to share any activities, lessons, or discussion ideas. Suggestions are most welcome.

Here is the link to the reading:
