In 2010, Vivek Shraya
self-published God Loves Hair, her first book; in the ten years
since, Vivek has published six more titles, including a novel, poetry
collection, graphic novel, and children's picture book, while also working as
an artist, musician, and academic.
God Loves Hair is a collection of short stories that follows a
tender, intelligent, and curious child who navigates the complex realms of
gender creativity, queerness, brownness, religion, and belonging. This
tenth-anniversary edition, published in hardcover for the first time, includes
a foreword by award-winning YA writer Cherie Dimaline (The Marrow Thieves),
as well as a new preface, story, and illustrations.
Told with the poignant
insight and honesty that only the voice of a young narrator can convey, God
Loves Hair is a moving and ultimately joyous portrait of the
resiliency of youth.
Full-colour throughout.
