Jean-Louite, by Maïa Sandoz and Jean-Baptiste Drouot

You can only style hair well with your heart. Everything else is just conditioner! Johnny-Louie (travelling hairdresser for hibernators).

It’s the first day of spring and tonight is the big parade. But for now, everyone has just woken up looking like a mess, because their hair and manes have grown wildly all winter. For Johnny-Louie, this day is even more special. Because in Johnny-Louie’s herd, as soon as the goats reach the age of three, they have to pass tests to become travelling hairdressers. And this year, Grandma said, it’s Johnny-Louie’s turn. He’ll have to style everyone’s hair for the spring parade without wasting a minute because, at the end of the day, the worst hair challenge awaits him: styling Poor Barnaby’s hair!

A hilarious story with the best punchlines in children’s literature! And also, without seeming to, as you may have guessed, a story about acceptance and self-confidence, whether you’re more of a glittery type or a prickly hedgehog.
