Boldilocks

Boldilocks is a

boy with spectacular, shimmering hair, who finds that differences can be

difficult to deal with -- and that sometimes, it's best to be bold.

Boldilocks' hair is notorious. It swooshes and streams so strikingly that

everyone looks at him and whispers, embarrassing him wherever he goes. But when

Pa takes him to the hairdresser to do something about it, something unexpected

happens. With a little salon magic and a whole lot of love, much more than hair

is transformed.

This silly, fun

picture book is perfect for preschoolers and up. It challenges gender

stereotyping that can offer a narrow definition of what's acceptable for boys

or girls, often depriving little boys of bright colors, or rainbows, or

sparkles -- all the fun, self-expressive stuff!

Boldilocks is an uplifting story about being

confident in your skin (and hair) and will resonate with anyone who has ever

felt a little bit embarrassed about how they look. It celebrates the power of

community and how it can makeover shame into joyful pride.
