Ep. 20: Alopecia and 'What's Silly Hair Day Without Hair?'
Why does hair mean so much to us? What happens when your hair is here today and gone tomorrow? And most importantly, What's Silly Hair Day with No Hair?
Well, we don't have ALL the answers to your burning philosophical questions, but we do have a great picture book for you today! 'What's Silly Hair Day with No Hair?' is a picture book by Norene Paulson. In it, you will meet Bea, a little girl with a love for costumes, and a condition called Alopecia. Don't know what that is? Well listen in, because September is National Alopecia Awareness Month!
