Big Bouffant
“Ponytails and braids! Ponytails and braids! I don’t see anything but ponytails and braids! This class needs some fashion. This class needs some fun. I’ll find a hairdo to impress everyone.”
Annabelle doesn’t want the same boring hairstyle that all the other girls have. When she spies a picture of her grandma, she has the perfect idea: a big bouffant! But how can she make her style stand up? And will her classmates really be impressed with her daring ‘do?

Reviews
School Library Journal
“Warm tones and colorful patterns result in rich illustrations that carry Annabelle’s exuberance and determination through the pages. Shadow and texture layer the story, and panels help readers move along visually. This rhyming text will delight fans of Robert Munsch’s Stephanie’s Ponytail (Firefly, 1996) and will make a good addition for hair-themed storytimes.” —School Library Journal
Foreword Reviews
“This book deals with a serious issue—defining one’s place among one’s peers—in the most entertaining way imaginable.” —ForeWord Magazine
