MY THOUGHTS
'I woke up one morning, quick out of bed, to find curls on my pillow instead of my head. I felt so confused by this weird situation. My hair wasn't in its usual location!'
Children who suffer from hair loss will feel so special to have a book written especially for them. Author Paula Quinn and illustrator Chiara Civati have perfectly captured the emotions of a special little girl named Rosie who has lost her hair because of an autoimmune disease called Alopecia. The easy-to-read rhyming text and the captivating illustrations make it fun to read and it also educates about the effects of this disease. This cheerful and positive little girl teaches children that they need to love themselves and take pride in themselves, even if their hair is gone and their head is bald.
Parents and teachers will appreciate the vocabulary page and teacher's guide with activities and questions and this is also a book that needs to be in every school and public library. My Hair Went on Vacation is a valuable resource that definitely deserves a 5-Star rating!

 Meet the Author: Paula and Rosie Quinn are the founders of Coming Up Rosies, a nonprofit dedicated to fulfilling Rosie’s dream to make bald kids like her smile confidently. At two years old, Rosie was diagnosed with alopecia universalis, an incurable autoimmune disease that results in baldness. From a young age, Rosie taught her parents how to embrace her difference by coming up with magical adventures of her hair each night before bed. Despite Rosie’s confidence, awkward questions and comments about her baldness started to bother Rosie. One day, her parents surprised her with a head scarf made from one of her paintings. Rosie immediately felt confident again, and wanted to share this feeling of pride with all bald children. Rosie lives in Chicago with her sister Caroline, her parents Paula and Larry, and their bernedoodle, Enzo. As a family, they love to go to Cubs games, have dance parties, and cook Italian dinners at home.
