My First Haircut
Dong, Yang (2024) My First Haircut. [Book art/Artist's book]

Description/Abstract:
The idea for My First Haircut (2024) originated from the observation that many children experience fear or anxiety about visiting a hairdresser. Getting a haircut can be intimidating: the unfamiliar tools, the sound of scissors, the sensation of hair falling. To address this, I aimed to create an unflattened picturebook that explains the process and allows children to simulate it through pretend play. By physically participating in the narrative through the book object, readers can gain a sense of agency and familiarity with the haircutting process.
