It’s Okay to Be Different – Stories by Todd Parr
Mermaid Theatre ranks among North America’s most respected theatres for the young and plays an important ambassadorial role for Nova Scotia and for Canada. The company has performed for more than 4.5 million spectators on four continents and offers productions in seven languages.
With his signature blend of playfulness and sensitivity, Todd Parr explores important and timely subjects. It’s Okay to Be Different cleverly delivers the important messages of acceptance, understanding, and self-confidence. Equally whimsical and heartfelt, The Earth Book, is a sweet homage to our beautiful planet inspiring readers of all ages to do their part to keep the Earth happy and healthy. This is My Hair is a funny exploration of how silly hair can be and that no matter how your hair looks, always feel good about yourself.
