Great way to get my 3 year old to think about her alopecia. She went away and thought about it for a while and then came back and started asking questions. A light hearted way to start talking about being bald. Lovely illustrations. The last page comes very abruptly and I felt it was a bit of a shock after pages of this is me with my hair in the snow, in the wind etc and then this is me with no hair.

I was having a 'bad' hair day when someone gave this book to me and it instantly made me laugh. The last page of the book summarizes it all: "No matter how your hair looks, always feel good about yourself." This book is so simple, yet inspiring to people of all ages.

The illustrations are what caught my eye with Todd Parr. I like the simple text in his books as well, but I only gave 4 stars because some of the text is a little too out there ("This is my hair when a flying saucer landed in it") and the repetiton becomes a little monotonous for the reader. I really like the messages sent in his books, or in this case, directly stated.

This is such a fun book to share with your children. Especially if they have typically wild hair. They learn to laugh at themselves and enjoy reading it over and over. I recommend any books by this author for children.

This book is adorable in its message and its pictures. Great book for a baby because of the board book....baby can chew on it and loves to look at the colorful pictures. I gave it as a gift and they love it.

My toddler LOVES this book, he giggles through the whole thing. He insists on reading it over and over and over.
