Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a long term commitment or feels misunderstood because of their outward appearance. This clever retelling of the Brothers Grimm Bearskin fairy tale follows Lucky, a soldier who makes a daring seven-year pact with the devil. He agrees to never wash, shave, or cut his hair in exchange for unlimited wealth, testing his resolve and integrity through extreme isolation. The story explores themes of patience, resilience, and the value of inner character over physical presentation. It is ideally suited for children aged 5 to 9 who enjoy folklore with a bit of grit. Parents will appreciate the way it models keeping one's word and the idea that true connection is found by those who look past the surface, making it a wonderful springboard for discussing hygiene, stereotypes, and moral fortitude.
