Hair, Don't Care: A Celebration of Diversity

A poem that encourages kids to embrace their unique hair and love others for their differences.

Back to readings

Read together

A beard, a bald head, dark hair so fine,
Short hair, curly hair, all different designs.
Long hair, straight hair, blond hair so bright,
All unique and special, a beautiful sight.

Some folks have moustaches, so proud and so grand,
Others keep it simple, with just a clean band.
But no matter the hair, it's what's inside that counts,
With kindness and love, it's what truly amounts.

So let's love our hair, no matter the length,
And appreciate others, for their own special strength.
For we're all special, with our own hair's flair,
And that's what makes us, truly beyond compare.

Talk about it
