My Hair Went on Vacation
This story is about Rosie, who lives in Chicago. Within three weeks she lost all of her hair and asked, "Where did it go?" Rosie loved to rock the bald, without even skipping a beat. She happily wore sunscreen -not even a hat!- in the summer heat.
At bedtime, Rosie would tell her own stories with a smile on her face. She'd imagine her hair going on magical adventures all over the place. From a young age, Rosie loved herself and was not phased by her look, so her mother decided to share her spirit to teach others through this book.
Come on this adventure with a confident bald girl, who tells us “Bald is beautiful!” as she smiles with a twirl. We hope this book can inspire you to love others as they are, and to love yourself every day, whether your hair is near or far.
Advocacy
“Even though I love being bald, not everyone is confident and comfortable and they prefer to wear wigs. Because wigs are very expensive and many families can’t afford them, I want to help by advocating for wigs to be covered by insurance. I want to use my voice for other children and adults so, they can be confident and smile like me.”
-Rosie
