Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I loved WIG when I first got it for my nephew, who was then three years old. I thought it was wonderful and whimsical and fabulously offbeat. He toted it around happily for a year, until it was largely shredded. When he outgrew it, I snatched it back for my own collection.
I never imagined what I would later do with it.
Three years ago, a close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer; sadly, she had two young children. Chemo quickly knocked out all of her hair and she got a wig. I visited them and brought this marvelous book. Her children adored it instantly! It demystified her wig, which had scared them, and it converted wig-dom into a funky shared adventure.
A second friend -- with a two-year old -- was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and, likewise, lost her hair and bought a wig. I rushed a copy of WIG to them. Magic! This child also adores the book and asks to have it read again and again. Her mothers' wig is now a source of shared pleasure, instead of an unwanted intrusion.
WIG can't take the cancer away, but it surely cheers little ones who find themselves living this bad dream. May this book have a long life, for those in sickness and in health!
