Most young girls would love to have Annie's curly hair, but Annie wanted straight hair like her best friend Mia had. She tried every way she could think of to straighten her hair, but the curls kept springing back. Annie's dad convinced her that the world would be a confusing place if everyone looked exactly alike. Annie understood, but deep down, she still longed for straight hair. One day an unexpected incident showed Annie how being different could have its advantages, and this time she took the lesson to heart.It's an enjoyable story for younger kids, especially girls, and it's the right length for a bedtime story. The vocabulary is simple enough for kids, and the colorful illustrations will help to keep a child's attention. There's a subtle lesson about respecting differences in others and loving yourself that most kids will pick up on.
