Hairiette of Harlem Book 01 The Great Birthday Surprise!

Ages 6 to 11, Grades 1 to 4

Hairiette’s birthday goes from disappointing to dazzling when she gets a surprising and spectacular present.

Hairiette is in a hurry to live life in the double-digits. But when her big bike doesn't appear for her seventh birthday, she has no choice but to use what she has—her ample imagination—where thoughts become real and hair accessories (a barrette and comb) come to life, making everyday a hip-hip hooray day.
