25,000+ copies in circulation worldwide, used in 100+ cancer centers. Nowhere Hair and its Spanish translation (Y el pelo?) available through Ingram and Amazon and in bulk discount through NowhereHair.com. The little girl in NOWHERE HAIR knows two things: Her mom's hair is not on her head anymore, so therefore it must be somewhere around the house. After searching the obvious places, the story rev
eals that her mother, although going through cancer treatment, is still silly, attentive, happy and yes, sometimes very tired and cranky. She learns that she didn't cause the cancer, can't catch it, and that Mommy still is very much up for the job of mothering. The book, written in rhyme, explains hats, scarves, wigs, going bald in public, and the idea of being nice to people who may look a little different than you. It ends with the idea that what is inside of us is far more important than how we look on the outside. For any parent or grandparent, NOWHERE HAIR offers a comfortable platform to explain something that is inherently very difficult. It does the heavy lifting, without being heavy. It addresses a child's guilt, fear, sadness and anxiety with a light touch. In the end, it reminds us of two things:
1. Be kind to those who might look a little different from us, and
2. Always remember that what resides inside is far more important than how we look on the outside. May Nowhere Hair be a conversation starter for you.
