Someone trims my hair so it stays comfy and healthy. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Today I am getting a haircut. Hair keeps growing, so sometimes we trim it.
2. I sit in a special chair. The chair might go up with a pump sound. A cape goes around my neck to catch the hair.
The cape feels smooth and a little slippery. The chair might bounce as it goes up.

3. The barber might spray my hair with water. Then scissors snip, snip near my ears. Cutting hair does not hurt because hair cannot feel.
The spray is cool and misty. The snipping is a small clicking sound close to my head.

4. Sometimes the barber uses clippers. The clippers buzz near my ears. They vibrate and tickle. Some kids like it, some do not.
The buzz is loud up close. Little hairs might fall on my nose and feel itchy.

5. I have choices. I can ask the barber to show me the clippers first. I can ask for scissors instead. I can ask for a mirror so I can watch.
6. I can practice with Spark. Spark will be the barber.
7. When the haircut is done, the cape comes off with a whoosh. The barber brushes the itchy hairs away. We go home. Maybe I get a bath to wash off the rest. All done!
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
