Mr. Fiorello's Head is both a playful romp and a philosophical tale. Mr.
Fiorello loved his hair and never wanted it to go away. But, sometimes, the
things we care the most about, the things we never want to see gone, leave
anyway. Such is the fate of Mr. Fiorello and his hair.

Fortunately, he still has a head on his
shoulders and thoughts in his head, which help him to navigate his loss and
disappointment in favor of a larger possibility. Possibilities that lead him
from his apartment into the world, to grow and tend to a larger garden than the
hairs on his own head.

We may not have control over many things in our
lives, but when we do the work inside our own heads that we need to do, our
most petty concerns give way to a larger, more generous conception of the world
and our place in it.
