Happy National Redhead Day! I am not a redhead myself, but I definitely have known some over the years, and what a very cool color of hair to have! Before we get to the redhead books, some history facts about redheads…Some cultures believed redheads were witches. Some thought they would turn into vampires after they died. Only about 1% to 2% of people have red hair. Do you have red hair? What about someone special in your life? If so, it’s a great day to show them that you care with a book about the amazingness of redheads! I’ve found some fun ones to share! Because what better way to let that special redhead in your life know you care than with a book just for them?
