Hair in the Eyes

Content : At the start of the new school year, Tiago has long hair. He does not think it is important, especially as he shares this feature with his best friend Eliott.
But this year, Eliott's hair is almost shaved. And under the influence of the Great Coudrier and that idiot Noam, he'd rather play football than draw with his friend. He even goes so far as to make fun of him. Tiago has had enough! He confronts him at playtime, but it is no use: the other pupils make fun of him, call him a girl and push him around... Fortunately, there is still Sadio to come to his defence.
Until the day Tiago does a homework assignment and paints... with his hair! His drawing is a big hit with his classmates. In the end, even Eliott shyly apologises and picks up his crayons alongside his friend.
So, what do looks and friendship have to do with each other? Do we need to look the same to appreciate each other, or should we value our differences?
A book about harassment based on physical differences and gender stereotypes, and a clever way of thwarting them!
The brightly coloured pencil illustrations punctuate the story. Their bright, cheerful colours add light to the story. They bring to life expressive characters whose intentions can be seen in their attitudes and expressions, adding depth to the text.
