Heck, lice have been around and are as common as the common cold, but this doesn’t matter to Lucy, only a headband and teasing matter…that and what goes around comes around. “The Scare In My Hair” is a children's picture book openly dealing with what it is really like to have head lice and hilariously supplemented with information about how to get through it too.
