This is a very informative book about alopecia areata and presents the worst case scenario. My 3 & 4 year olds like it but I feel it may be better suited to kids above 5.

The Girl With No Hair by Elizabeth Murphy-Melas is a flat-spined children’s picture book about the common condition of alopecia areata, an autoimmune skin disease in which the body’s own defenses attack the hair follicles and cause hair loss. People with alopecia are often healthy in every other respect, but children with the disease are often struck with an emotional burden in a phase of life when developing self-esteem is crucial. Bright color pictures by Alex Hernadix enhance the straightforward, understanding text which teaches young readers about what it’s like to live with alopecia, and the joy of having a rewarding life with or without hair.
