A colourfully illustrated story about Isabel and Emma, two girls with hair problems: one wants her hair to be longer; the other has lost her hair during cancer treatment and would like to have it back. Each girl's experience leads her to a new understanding: for one the realization that she can help someone through the simple act of giving her hair away; for the other the emotion of losing her hair while finding that others want to help. Along the way, they learn about courage, friendship, generosity, patience, pride, persistence, problem-solving, and responsibility.
