Emma holds a copy of the book, and her glass award. On the wall behind her are several framed portraits. Photograph: Adrian Pope An illustrated page from My Hair is as Long as a River. There are several illustrations, showing a boy reading a book as his friends look on. In each illustration, his hair grows longer, until it envelops his two smiling friends. Text reads: Look close and you'll see. My hair is as soft as a blanket, a cloak of the silkiest thread, It wraps us up, it gives us strength, For all that lies ahead. An illustrated page from My Hair is as Long as a River. A boy stands near a tree trunk, his long hair flowing upwards and forming branches with leaves on them. A child walks along one of the branches, others are playing in the forest, one sits at the foot of the tree trunk reading a book. Text reads; My hair is as dense as a forest, As tangled and curled as a maze, And in its thick, majestic state, It trails on for days. An illustrated page from My Hair is as Long as a River. A boy walks across a bridge made from his long hair, passing from a hillside, over choppy seas, to reach a tower. A person in a crown can be seen through the window of the tower; Smiling children look on and point at him as he goes. Text reads: My hair is a strong as a drawbridge, Over waters swirling and grey, Reaching across the chasms deep, To help me find a way.
