(Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of this book from Blackberry Book Tours for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own and are honest and unbiased.)
Bald is Beautiful by Carola Schmidt was an uplifting children's book. Though there were a few parts that felt slightly disjointed, I loved the conversational, personal tone of the narrative. As I read it, I really did feel like I was reading a letter from a friend who truly cared. I also enjoyed the charming illustrations by Dian Ovieta. Most of all, I admired the message of this work: You are powerful, you are beautiful, and you can follow your dreams. It's a message that all children and adults should hear and heed. Bald is Beautiful is an affirmation of power and beauty, and anyone searching for an inspirational, empowering read should check it out.
