Wanda and the Wild Hair / Barbara Azore

For every little (or not so little) girl who loves her hair, Wanda and the Wild Hair is for you.

Wanda loves her hair. It is really, really wild, shades her eyes in the summer and catches snowflakes in the winter. But Wanda hates it when her mom tells her to wash her hair, or her dad tells her she looks like an Old English Sheepdog and suggests she go to the poodle parlor for a trim. Her teacher makes her write "I must comb my hair" on the board fifty times.

Wanda's wild hair manages to catch her mother's earring, which causes a magpie to peck at it and a cat to chase the magpie through Wanda's wild locks. A dog lands on top of Wanda while chasing the cat. The result - Wanda's wild hair really does look like a bush and she finally agrees to visit the hairdresser.

Wanda and the Wild Hair is delightfuly illustrated by Georgia Graham using chalk pastel on paper.
