Milly, Molly Dolls and Books
The Milly, Molly series of books are written for children between the ages of four and eight. The stories relate the adventures of two little girls from different ethnic backgrounds (with their multi-cultural friends), and promote the acceptance of diversity and the learning of life skills.
The stories deal with the kinds of questions and trials that children face every day-and offer understanding in such matters as honesty, respect for others, difference, tenacity, exercise, cooperation, respect for nature, bullying, stranger danger, forgiveness, trustworthiness, responsibility, loyalty, loss and grief-and many other areas that are challenging to young children.
Their message is captured in the simple phrase: "We may look different but we feel the same."

Natural hair products
This website has natural products that some AACASA members have found work well with their children's hair... many Ethiopian born children find that regular (soap based) shampoos and conditioners are not suitable for their hair. These products include a detergent-free shampoo and a hydrating spray that might help.
