Beyond The Cover

What alopecia, bullying, and a national stage taught me about who you really are.

Samuel Picou lost all of his hair to alopecia as a child — and learned early what it feels like to be judged by the cover. Beyond The Cover is the story of what happened next: the bullying, the stage of NBC's The Voice at sixteen, and the slow discovery that the thing that made him different was the thing that gave him purpose.

Honest, hopeful, and practical, it's a book for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, labeled, or not enough — and for the parents, teachers, and leaders who love them.
