We all want new shoes, a friend to play with on the playground, to be forgiven, to understand the world around us, to be seen for who we are on the inside. Can I Touch Your Hair? is a unique book in that it gives readers windows and mirrors on a topic from the perspective to two kids, Charles and Irene. Irene and Charles are paired together to work on a poetry project. It's clear they wouldn't have picked one another for many reasons, but the big difference they see in each other is the color of their skin. They decide on topics to write about for their project and we see the products of their work. Their shared joys, fears, worries, observations, embarrassments, rejections, and apologies. Both text and illustrations hold so much emotion and heart. Within its pages, a journey to friendship and a better appreciation for what makes us more alike than different. And it doesn't end perfectly, but with an acknowledgment that Irene and Charles aren't perfect friends but they listen and ask questions. A book that will inspire kids (and adults) from different backgrounds to do the same. Thank you to the authors, illustrators, editors and agents who brought this book to shelves. Donating a copy to our elementary school library for students to enjoy...and hopefully share with their parents. Great book for family, classroom, and community discussions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020* I use a lot of diverse literature in my classroom and this is one of the most beautiful depictions of poetry from two different perspectives that I’ve ever shared with my students. I love this book and my students and I had wonderful conversations as I read it to them. Great buy and addition to any classroom or home library! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful pleasure *by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2021* This is an absolute amazing book, highly recommended for all ages. It approaches difficult but realistic topics from a poetic point a view. Often times people are afraid to asks questions or shy from understanding one another. The book gives a realistic insight on certain intricacies that make us unique in character yet similar in our being. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/56830362-can-i-touch-your-hair-poems-of-race-mistakes-friendship](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/56830362-can-i-touch-your-hair-poems-of-race-mistakes-friendship) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
