Taye Diggs joins Mike Muse on The Mike Muse Show to talk about his new children's book, Prince Bedhead, the story of a young prince whose hair is too big for any crown. Taye opens up about growing up afraid to get in trouble in class, faking his way through math, and why kids who learn differently need patient parents and schools. He and Mike also get into faith, science, social promotion, and the difference between fitting in and belonging.
Prince Bedhead is out now everywhere books are sold.
