About The Story

Faisal struggles with his curly red hair—he thinks it’s wild, unruly, and not like anyone else’s. He just wants to fit in. As Grandma visits for a family photo, Faisal tries everything to change his hair. But during Grandma’s visit he begins to see it in a new light. This heartwarming story gently explores themes of self-acceptance, self-esteem, and the importance of celebrating our differences. Faisal’s journey reflects how children often internalize standards of beauty—and how love and encouragement can change that perspective.
