A curious question about curls

Jem’s hair, affectionately named Fern, has a way of escaping its hairstyle—most notably before picture day. That familiar clash leads Jem and her dad to investigate what makes hair curly, giving the book a child-centered frame for exploring coils and hair. The premise connects an everyday styling moment with a question about how hair works.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 curious about hair and curls
  • Young readers interested in children’s nonfiction about clothing and hair
  • Families looking for a book that opens conversation about coils and hairstyles
