Boppa’s Bald Stories
Thirteen warm and silly stories about how Granddad got bald, gorgeously and whimsically illustrated.
by Laurie Trott Rettig
illustrated by Hanna du Plessis
Hardcover, 7×10″, 32 pages
It was lightning! It was a bear! A shark, a tornado, a man with a very small lawnmower…. When the kids ask their granddad yet again, “Boppa, how did you get bald?” he answers with a different wild story every time, and swears they’re all true. Boppa’s wife “Yaya” is the author, Laurie Trott Rettig. She gathered Boppa’s stories and the moments of home and belonging that surround their telling. She asked Hanna du Plessis to capture the mix of kids, grandparents, and magical imagination in her wonderful illustrations. Written for young readers, each story and illustration offers a world of love and whimsy.
