When Mr. Fiorello starts losing his beloved curly hair, he is completely devastated. Especially when he realizes that three untamed strands remain, drawing attention to his now bald head. He tries everything to get rid of them, but to no avail. Perhaps this is exactly what Mr. Fiorello needs to broaden his horizons and make room for new growth… What if all it took to truly flourish was letting go?

 With Mr. Fiorello’s Hair, Cecilia Ruiz offers a playful and philosophical picture book, exploring the process of change and growth through a palette of colors and textures that evoke gentleness, determination, and acceptance.

 In 2023, this book was selected for the Ragazzi Award Amazing Bookshelf at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair and was chosen as the Toronto Public Library’s New & Noteworthy Picture Book of the Month.
