HairyTales a collaboration with Woke Babies

Right now, only 4% of children's book heroes are diverse, and fairy tale characters are a different story. So we've partnered with children’s book publisher Woke Babies and award-winning author, Trish Cooke, to re-imagine these traditional tales with some new role models. From this collaboration the HairyTales children’s story collection was born. Stories in the collection include Zel, Let Out your Hair, Jackson and the hairstalk and The Puppet who wanted hair. Woke Babies was founded by Kelly-Jade Nicholls to tackle the lack of Black protagonists in children's books and to ensure black children books are more widely distributed. "We want Black children to see themselves in the stories that are available to them and partnering with Tangle Teezer to reimagine classic fairy tales and celebrate afro hair is a great step." We’ve also teamed up with Woke Babies to gift bundles of books to inner-city schools across the UK, so more young people can see themselves represented through literature.
