Author Description

Jeremiah¿s dad doesn¿t have any hair on the top of his head. Jeremiah never really thought about it until... ¿Hey Baldy!¿ someone shouted. Now Jeremiah is wondering about all sorts of things: Will he lose his own hair one day? Does it hurt to lose your hair? Just where did Daddy¿s hair go? And what¿s so great about having hair anyway? Ultimately, this warm funny story is not just about hair but about whether it¿s okay to look different. Luckily, the answer for Jeremiah, as for many kids, is simple -- everyone looks different! Author Joe O¿Connor uses his own experience as both a son and a father to beautifully capture a child¿s point of view about this sometimes sensitive topic. Crisp full-color illustrations highlight the humor and energy of the story.
