Où sont partis les cheveux de papi?(Where Did Grandpa’s Hair Go?)

Summary

When he was young, Milo’s grandpa had a lot of hair! He used to have a real tangle of curls! Then came the war and the move to another country. Now grandpa’s head is shiny and bald. So where did grandpa’s hair go?

A sweet, light-hearted story to give children a glimpse into the life of an immigrant family.
