Men and Self-Image

When you're comfortable with who you are, it's okay to be different. Combining heartfelt father-son bonding with whimsical illustration, "Why is Daddy Bald?" just may be the sleeper book of the decade.

Celebrating one's uniqueness is underscored in the book when Jeremiah's father, teased as "Baldy" at the ball game, turns around and responds: "How did you know my name?" -- and the loud-mouth smiles back.

Father's Day is past, your kids may be grown, and you may not be bald, but I believe this children's book transcends gender, age and the follicle-challenged.
