About the book
Dad's Beard Disappeared
What happens when Dad's beard suddenly disappears?
When June wakes up one morning, she can hardly believe her eyes. Her dad looks completely different. His beard is gone!
Determined to help, June and her dad set out on a hilarious mission to grow a new beard as quickly as possible. From fluffy pillows and tangled spaghetti to sticky cotton candy and other creative substitutes, they'll try just about anything to bring Dad's beard back and restore June's smile.
Filled with lively rhyming text and adorable illustrations by Julie Koon, Dad's Beard Disappeared is a laugh-out-loud read-aloud that captures a familiar childhood experience: seeing someone you love look unexpectedly different. Along the way, young readers will discover a gentle message about family, reassurance, and learning to embrace life's little changes.
Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and anyone who's ever been surprised by a new haircut, a shaved beard, or a change at home, this heartwarming picture book celebrates the love that stays the same, even when appearances do not
When June woke up, her dad looked weird.
In fact, his beard had disappeared!
She sat in shock, perplexed, appalled.
Where there was hair, his chin was BALD.
