Beard Boy

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Weinberg. The coolest people in Ben's neighborhood have beards, and Ben especially wants to be like his bearded dad. Unable to grow a beard himself, Ben tries a variety of creative solutions, all with humorous results, before a permanent-marker beard necessitates parental action. Digitally colored pencil-and-watercolor illustrations highlight the sweet silliness but can be difficult to parse on the busier pages.
