Leonard's Beard by Nancy Cote - ADVISABLE

Cote, Nancy Leonard's Beard. PICTURE BOOK. Sky Pony Press (Skyhorse Publishing), 2016 $16.99.  

Leonard the author gets lost in his writing and soon forgets the outside world as evidenced by his unruly beard.  When a storm and large gust of wind blows through town, Leonard's beard becomes a catch-all for everything flying through the air.  With scissors in hand, Leonard decides that the beard must go.  Freed from the mass of hair, Leonard reclaims his life, discovers his smile and reunites with his friends again.  

This is a great story to introduce the writing process and what an author does.  The rhyming throughout lends itself well to the story and will engage readers.
