About the Book
Whether 5 or 105, many of us must face the loss of a loved one, and the loss of a grandparent can be especially hard. The Hair Angel begins when Kirsten loses her tooth and finds a dollar under her pillow. She shares her joy with her grandpa. But soon Kirsten finds out that she can put so much more under her pillow. Her dreams, her love of Grandpa, and Grandpa’s love of God are all tucked under her pillow. When the hair angel visits, Kirsten finds that God has a plan, even though something might appear to be a loss, like losing hair as you grow older.
