Do you remember your first haircut? Or the first time you chose how you wanted your hair to look? There’s power and pride in learning about your heritage and embracing it in daily activities, and in Furqan’s First Flat Top, all of those things are explored. It’s a bilingual children’s book aimed to appeal to kids ages 4-8 (but if you enjoy likable characters, stories about a kid bonding with their parent and adorable illustrations, chances are you’ll like it too).

The story focuses on the relationship between Furqan and his father as Furqan imagines how his hair will look once he gets a flat top of his very own. Culture is also explored through the imagery and the bilingual nature of the book. This is a great tool to teach the kids in your life about being proud of who they are and where they’re from.
