Book Review: Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go?
Bald Man wrote a bit about this book a few months back, and then my kids found it at the library. The oldest thought the cover was hilarious and had to bring it home.
Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go? by Joe O’Connor, illustrated by Henry Payne, shares a fun story of little Jeremiah and his dad. It begins with Jeremiah’s realization that his dad is, in fact, bald. You then get to go on the search for his dad’s hair, Jeremiah’s imagining of what his dad would look like with hair (love the illustrations there!), and his love of his dad just as he is.
I love the portrayal of the dad as accepting and unfussy about who he is, and his willingness to entertain all of Jeremiah’s many questions. It reminds me of my own Bald Man. The kids do occasionally ask him questions about his lack of hair, and he is more than willing to answer them. And the fact that he is very comfortable with himself, hair or not, I think will help them to be comfortable with themselves.
Do you have a favorite children’s book that deals with acceptance of differences?
