I think he was originally French. But I don't know why he's bald.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It's because he is training to be an airbender.

"In French, caillou usually means "pebble" or "stone", but it can also mean "bald head", which was most likely the writer's intention."

Q. Why is Caillou bald? A. Caillou’s character is based on a much younger character featured in illustrated children’s books published before the television series was created. Generally, for children, Caillou is a larger than life image of a preschooler. The fact that he is bald does not seem to bother preschoolers in the least. Not only do they never mention it, but when asked to think about why Caillou has no hair, our focus groups just laughed and replied: "He just doesn’t have any hair!"

You did research on that?...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

ya it wasnt that hard to find. it was the first question on the Caillou official page, under the FAQ section.

Really? Oh I thought you went and asked people xD

I used to love that show, but now whenever I see it, I can't STAND it. They're pretty much sending out the image to kids that life is full of happiness and rainbows.

It's like what they said: he has cancer,so his parents made him a monk to airbend.. Case closed

Caillou means "pebble" in French. And yeah, it is weird that he's bald. But it's also be weird if a pebble had hair...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Caillou is French for "bald head." So, you know, maybe the roundaboutness of that revelation will solve both problems.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

not really... I'm french and I can tell you "caillou" doesn't mean "bald head". It means rock. But I think it comes from an expression which says "chauve comme un caillou".

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Caillou is so dope. He definitely had hippie parents. My daughter can't get enough of this bald dude!! :D
