Growing Giddo’s Hair by Sumayyah Hussein is the last of our five newest books available for pre-order.

Nuh wants to give his grandpa something amazing for his seventieth birthday, but he’s stumped. Giddo has everything—except hair! When Nuh sees a product on TV that seems perfect, he formulates a secret plan. But his plan soon turns disastrous! Will the big day be ruined?

Humour is an essential tool in storytelling, and Growing Giddo’s Hair is the newest addition to our list of books that tickle kids’ funny bones to teach something valuable.

In this story, Nuh’s wacky gift idea and sneaky methods lead to big trouble, but it’s all coming from a place of love. “This story is about the special bond between kids and their grandparents,” the author says, “and the main take-home lesson is to accept the people you love just the way they are.”

Another important lesson, she says, relates to media literacy: “Don’t believe everything you see on TV!”
