Big bouffant

Annabelle is bored with the boring way the girls in her class do their hair each morning. “Ponytails and braids! Ponytails and braids!” she moans. “I don't see anything but ponytails and braids!”

She decides to make a hairdo to top everyone; she decides to make her hair into a bouffant.

When everyone copies her, she switches gears and turns to designing a more imaginative dress.

“Annabelle went home and slumped on her bed.

‘My bouffant's so boring—
I want something new instead!'
She thought very hard
with her eyes closed tight.
‘I know what I'll do,
but I need to start tonight.”

I love books about kids who bravely try to be different, so this was a fun read for me.
