Yesterday was World Red Head Day. People who have natural red hair get together and celebrate on this day. Why do they do this? Because there are not so many people with red hair in the world. Red heads come from northern Europe. Scotland and Ireland have the most redheads, but you can find people with red hair in many different countries now. Redheads often have fair skin and freckles. They need to be careful of the sun, or they will get sunburned. Have you ever heard of someone named Ginger? It is a nickname for a redhead, either a man or a woman. I know the name of one famous Ginger. Ginger Baker was a redheaded drummer in one of my favorite rock bands called Cream in the 1960s.  (130 words)
