Why doesn’t Caillou have hair?

Based on the books created by Chouette Publishing, Caillou was initially created as a nine month old baby. As he grew older, the publisher & show producers found that he became unrecognizable with the addition of hair and therefore decided to keep his recogniton. Although Caillou’s baldness may make him different, we hope it helps children understand that being different isn’t just okay, it’s normal!
