By award-winning Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho, a poetic picture book about family separation and mental health.
Once a month, Dad takes his son to the barbers, come rain or shine. But when Dad disappears, this little boy's hair grows big, ginormous, out of control – and so do his feelings. A touching and melodic story of family separation from a child's perspective from the author/illustrator duo who brought us the Amnesty International recommended picture book Luna Loves Library Day.
"A touching story about family interactions – and hair! Poet Joe Coelho tells the story of a moment of sadness in a child's life with great sensitivity and a suitably hopefuly ending."LoveReading4Kids, Pick of the Month November 2019
"A lyrical, emotional look at the effect of separation, paired with Lumbers’ richly textured art."Fiona Noble - The Bookseller
