Mophead Tu: The Queen's Poem
Wot Knot You Got? Mophead’s Guide to Life

At school, Selina is teased for her big, frizzy hair. Kids call her ‘mophead’. She ties her hair up this way and that way and tries to fit in. Until one day – a visiting poet plays a role – Selina gives up the game. She decides to let her hair out, to embrace her difference, to be WILD!

Mophead shows where that leads her: one of the first Pasifika women to hold a PhD, poet laureate, performing for the Queen of England and Barack Obama. Until one day she picks up her special tokotoko, a talking stick carried by each New Zealand poet laureate, and notices something. It has wild hair coming out the end. It looks like a mop. A kid on the ferry home teases her about it. So she tells him this story . . .

This is an inspirational graphic memoir of growing up as a Pasifika woman in a white world, written and illustrated by New Zealand’s bestselling poet laureate. Full of wry humour, it appeals to young readers and adults alike.
