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 - Sam Hunt plays a role - Selina gives up the
game. She decides to let her hair out, to embrace her difference,
to be WILD! Selina takes us through special moments in her
extraordinary life. She becomes one of the first Pasifika women to

She meets Barack Obama. And then she is named the New Zealand Poet
Laureate. She picks up her special tokotoko, and notices something.
It has wild hair coming out the end. It looks like a mop. A kid on
the Waiheke ferry teases her about it. So she tells him a story . .
. This is an inspirational graphic memoir, full of wry humour, that
will appeal to young readers and adults alike. Illustrated with wit
and verve by the author - NZ's bestselling Poet Laureate - Mophead
tells the true story of a New Zealand woman realising how her
difference can make a difference.
