Bookroo's summary

A man cherishes his unique style—small hair, vibrant boots, and musical beads. Yet, feeling out of place, he conceals his joy to blend in. One day, he no longer recognizes himself in the mirror. This uplifting tale explores the journey of self-discovery and the courage to embrace one's true self. Will he find the bravery to dance to his own beat again?

From the publisher

The man with small hair loves his small hair. He also loves his short pants, zing-a-ding boots and clickety-clackety beads. He cartwheels with joy and bursts into song when he wears them. But the man with small hair is the only person who wears his hair small, and no one else has colorful boots or musical beads either. He decides to hide the things that make him happy in order to blend in with the crowd. Until one day he looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize the man staring back at him. The Man with Small Hair is an uplifting story about self-confidence, bravery and dancing to the beat of your own drum.
