Story Synopsis
Hair is soft, but it has important jobs. This story explains why hair grows on our bodies in a gentle way. Miluna shares that hair can help keep us warm by holding a bit of air close to our skin, like a tiny blanket. Hair also helps us feel: a small breeze or a light tickle can move a hair and tell the brain something touched us. Some hair protects special places. Eyelashes help keep dust out of eyes, and hair on the head can help protect from sunlight and small bumps.
