I Don’t Want Curly Hair Author: Laura Ellen Anderson Publisher: London: Bloomsbury, 2017 Call No.: Junior Lending Picture English AND

I Don’t Want Curly Hair is a cute tale about a girl who finds it hard to accept her naturally curly hair. Told in whimsical rhyme and accompanied with bright illustrations, the story starts off with a girl with bright orange curls who tries all sorts of ways to straighten her hair, such as tying balloons to the ends of her hair, or pouring water over her head. After her unsuccessful attempts, she meets a girl with straight hair who longs for curls. The two become friends and help each other accept themselves for who they are.

This is a good story for children struggling with a part of themselves that they do not like.
