My Review
Bald is Beautiful is a sweet, inspirational children's picture book that tackles the subject of being bald. Whether from cancer, alopecia, or some other condition that causes hair loss, this book seeks to build children up (mainly aimed at girls, because society, unfortunately, puts too much stock in females having hair to be considered "beautiful") and inspire them to be proud of the fact that they are bald. 
The illustrations are lovely, and the story is a quick, easy read that both young readers and their parents will find heartwarming and delightful. 
Hair loss/being bald can be disheartening and tough. But embracing this new normal by throwing a hat/scarf party or spending time with people who won't judge you is a good start. 
I liked that this book feels like a friend. It feels like the author is talking directly to the reader, as a friend, offering advice and encouragement and acceptance.
Being bald may not feel normal at times, but with a little help, seeing bald as beautiful, strong, and lovely will be easy.
5 stars!
