I Don't Want Curly Hair!

Description

NO! I do not want this BIG CURLY HAIR! It's messy and silly and just plain unfair. All Curlly 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 the thing we have. And hair, lots and lots of hair
