about this book: The Alien Hair came from my own experience with teaching children. I taught siblings two years ago. They were six, eight, and nine years old. I have been teaching children for more than 30 years but never had the experience of having two brothers and a sister learning in the same lesson.

The middle child was the one that gave me the idea for writing this story. What happens in Ethan's heart in the story had happened to a little boy in my class. The middle child was somewhat stuck between the attention given to the youngest child and the oldest one. In my story Ethan felt that he was not present as much as his siblings in his parent's heart.

This feeling that Ethan had of being ignore gave him thoughts of unfairness, thought of wanting to be someone else. One day, and alien hair stuck on his head while he was walking home. The magic starts, and Ethan sees for the first time that people around him need him.

Ethan stars to help and doing good deeds for others so he forgets everything about life being unfair.

The Alien Hair in my story can be a teacher, or any grownup interacting with a child. Really it can be you or me, helping a child to discover that giving and helping and the foundation of happiness. Just hoping that many children will read The Alien Hair… so they become kind and compassionate citizens of the world.
