This photo shows a Josh Marshall cuddling his son, Gabriel. Gabriel has a scar on his head left by an operation to remove a brain tumor.
Gabriel's Mum says the scar made her son feel self conscious so Dad got a tattoo made to match it. Dad says, "I told Gabriel if people wanted to stare, they could stare at both of us."
Josh won the "2016 Best bald dad" competition as a result of the photo. The competition raises awareness of cancer in children where Dads, Uncles and Grandfathers shave their heads in solidarity with children who have cancer.

How do you think Gabriel felt when Dad got a tattoo?
What effect has Dad had on Gabriel's life by getting this tattoo?
Gabriel felt self conscious about his scar. How can we make sure people who look a bit different do not feel self conscious?
In what ways are we different?
What do we say in our school about people looking different? How is this story about No Outsiders?
What message would you give to Gabriel?
What would you like to say to Gabriel's Dad?
