Synopsis

Princess Katrina has never seen any princesses with curls like hers. She’s worried because her crown keeps sliding off her head… Then, her best friend, the parrot Fussfeathers, calls Zuri, the Hair Charmer. Zuri knows all about hair like Katrina’s and shows her how to make the most of her beautiful hair.

Reviews

This picture book is ideal for the multi-cultural shelf in the school library and could be used to lead discussion about difference and the range of individual talent in every classroom. The story is vividly illustrated. Katrina’s face is particularly expressive. Visual imagery is woven into the text as skilfully as Zuri weaves the beads, shells and ribbons into Katrina’s hair.
