Product Information

Ah.Change00 - The style of this poem truly does evoke a sense of comfort and intimacy from the speaker to the reader. I think that the tetrameter works nicely with this poem, giving the flow and pacing needed for the the speaker to express themselves. In addition to the rhythm through the meters, the pacing is also set up by the use of commas to break the line apart. It allows the readers to slow down and really capture the moment, especially since the moment is very active in involving the readers. You have hair follicles all over your body, except on your lips, the palms of your hands, and the soles of your feet. And you have more hair follicles in some places than in others — there are more than 100,000 follicles on your head alone! The nerve endings in your dermis tell you how things feel when you touch them. They work with your brain and nervous system, so that your brain gets the message about what you're touching. Is it the soft fur of a cat or the rough surface of your skateboard?

This layer is where you'll find the start of hair, too. Each hair on your body grows out of a tiny tube in the skin called a follicle (say: FAHL-ih-kul). Every follicle has its roots way down in the subcutaneous layer and continues up through the dermis. Your hair follicles rely on your sebaceous glands to bring on the shine. Connected to each follicle in the dermis layer is a tiny sebaceous gland that releases sebum onto the hair. This lightly coats the hair with oil, giving it some shine and a little waterproofing. How Can Skin Warm and Cool You? My Skin Your Skin is a powerful book to help children and adults have meaningful discussions about race and anti-racism.
