The Bijou Imagination Series invites our youngest patrons to join us for this delightful retelling of Todd Parr's beloved children's books using black lights and puppetry. Including It's Ok to Be Different, The Earth Book, and This is My Hair, you and your family will learn about celebrating differences, loving yourself and the Earth!

Three contemporary stories by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Todd Parr will be adapted and staged by Mermaid Theatre. For very young audiences, the hour-long production features three books from his collection.

Todd Parr is the author and illustrator of more than 40 books for children. His books are available in over 15 languages throughout the world. He is the co-creator of the three-time Emmy-nominated children's television show "ToddWorld" as well as short films for "Sesame Street."
