Boldilocks is a
boy with spectacular, shimmering hair, who finds that differences can be
difficult to deal with -- and that sometimes, it's best to be bold.

Bellamy
Boldilocks' hair is notorious. It swooshes and streams so strikingly that
everyone looks at him and whispers, embarrassing him wherever he goes. But when
Pa takes him to the hairdresser to do something about it, something unexpected
happens. With a little salon magic and a whole lot of love, much more than hair
is transformed.

This silly, fun
picture book is perfect for preschoolers and up. It challenges gender
stereotyping that can offer a narrow definition of what's acceptable for boys
or girls, often depriving little boys of bright colors, or rainbows, or
sparkles -- all the fun, self-expressive stuff

Boldilocks is an uplifting story about being
confident in your skin (and hair) and will resonate with anyone who has ever
felt a little bit embarrassed about how they look. It celebrates the power of
community and how it can makeover shame into joyful pride.
