Review: Winner of the Gold Triangle Awards 2000 of the American Academy of Dermatology, Princess Alopecia by Yaacov Peterseil is the story of Alopecia, a young woman with long, beautiful hair. Yet when her hair suddenly begins to fall out Alopecia feels horrible about herself, and about losing her chance to play Princess Rapunzel in the school play! Her teacher sees what is happening and calls a class meeting to make Alopecia feel better. A heartwarming story written especially for children ages 6 through 10 who find themselves having to deal with the condition of alopecia, Princess Alopecia is nicely enhanced throughout with the supportive artwork of Avi Katz.
