Description Educational Book "Our Friends: Here's Osya at the Hair Salon" 452292

Osya walked into a hair salon for the first time. Inside, clippers were buzzing, there were tall chairs, the customers had strange contraptions on their heads, it smelled unusual, and—most importantly—she had absolutely no idea what was going to happen to her hair. How can you sit there without moving when scissors are snipping above your head? What if it’s scary or hurts? Osya is nervous, but her dad and her little bumblebee, Zhuzhu, are right there with her, and she has time to take in everything around her and get used to it. A first haircut isn’t just a new hairstyle—it’s also a series of new experiences—pleasant or otherwise—from an unfamiliar space, people, and sensations. This story shows, step by step, that a trip to the hairdresser can go by without tears or fear, because the support and calm presence of an adult make difficult moments much easier. A book that immerses a child in a new experience of how anxiety gives way to curiosity.
