Daddy Hairdo

By Francis Martin
Illustrated by Claire Powell

A hilarious story for anyone who has ever had to tangle with a head full of hair!

When Amy is born she doesn’t have much hair. Not for long! Soon her hair is the stuff of fairy tales - so long she could throw it down a tower to let up a handsome prince. Only, hair this long is also really inconvenient, especially on windy days. So Amy’s dad comes up with some innovative solutions, and soon EVERYONE wants one of Daddy's Hairdos! 

A brilliant book from new talent Francis Martin and rising star Claire Powell, illustrator of Have You Seen My Giraffe?.
