What can a girl do when her hair is just so very, very curly? She tries smoothing it and stretching it and brushing it and weighing it down. Nothing works! The curls just come boooing back again. But is it better if you hair is absolutely straight? An ebullient picture book which captures the problem of hair in an entertaining and warm-hearted way. ~ Julia Eccleshare
NO! I do not want this BIG CURLY HAIR! It's messy and silly and just plain unfair.
All Curly Haired Girl has ever wanted is straight and luscious locks, but when she meets a little girl with the smoothest, silkiest hair, who says all she's ever wanted is spirally, squiggly hair, they are BOTH confused! A hilarious tale about loving what we have. And hair, lots and lots of hair.
