What would you do if one day, after spending the afternoon in the park, an egg chased you all the way to your front door? This is what happens to the woman with the red hat in this wonderful text by Maribel Carrasco, one of the most outstanding voices in Spanish-language playwriting for children.
In "The Crows Don't Comb Their Hair," already a classic of children's drama, the Mexican novelist tells a coming-of-age story. The woman with the red hat adopts the egg, which will become a little crow and be named Emilio, and together they will learn to live, take care of themselves, and overcome their fears. When Emilio wants to go to school, like all the other children, he will discover who he is and will have to face many questions.
Crows Don't Comb Their Hair is a work that helps us understand our differences. Because being weird isn't a bad thing at all.
