Everybody Gets Lice

Everybody Gets Lice is a comforting, kid-friendly guide that helps families face one of childhood’s most common surprises — head lice — calmly, confidently, and with zero shame.

Told in warm, reassuring language and paired with playful illustrations, this book teaches children what lice are, how they spread, and why getting them doesn’t mean you’re dirty. Kids learn the basics of the lice life cycle, where nits hide, and why gentle, non-toxic treatments work best.

Instead of fear, the story offers empowerment. Children discover that lice have been around forever, that everyone can get them, and that with the right tools (and a little patience), they can be removed completely. A step-by-step look at checking and combing helps kids understand what to expect during treatment, turning a stressful moment into something manageable and even routine.

Parents will appreciate the bonus sections, including a simple lice-checking guide and a fun “Lice Expert Quiz” that reinforces learning in a positive way.

Created by Amy Chinian, founder of the lice clinic My Hair Helpers and a leader in natural lice removal, Everybody Gets Lice aims to remove the stigma and replace it with knowledge, compassion, and empowerment.

Perfect for classrooms, clinics, libraries, and every home bookshelf, this book helps families remember one simple truth:
You’re not alone — everybody gets lice.
