This was such a sweet story! It was funny because Sunny’s hair keeps growing and growing. It was also heartwarming because she gave her hair away for a good cause. The book had a nice balance between humor and conveying an important message about how to help others. The illustrations were also very appealing:)

Tousled, like many children’s books, delves into themes that resonate with adults as well. In this tale, our protagonist’s mother grapples with societal judgment, the pressure to conform, and the challenge of curbing her child’s unconventional ‘hair’, while Sunny, our carefree heroine, remains untroubled by such inhibitions. Despite her mother’s efforts to tame Sunny’s wild mane into societal norms, Sunny’s untamed spirit shines through. Indeed, her unruly hair serves as a powerful metaphor for individuality, a message children will grasp intuitively, with those inclined towards rebellion recognizing its symbolic significance.
As the story unfolds, Sunny’s mother gradually comes to appreciate her daughter’s wild nature, redirecting it towards acts of kindness and generosity. This transformation offers a poignant message, welcomed by some parents and thoughtfully challenging for others.
Visually captivating, Tousled boasts beautiful illustrations and thoughtful formatting, with even the font selection contributing to the narrative. In summary, for audiences valuing community and timeless themes, Tousled promises to become a cherished classic, passed down through generations.

This book is perfect for storytelling. My daughter loved it and we both got a kick out of it because we always joke about her messy hair. It’s a lovely story with beautiful illustrations and I found myself enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Bravo to author and illustrator for developing a truly enjoyable, entertaining and meaningful fairy tale!
The rhyming text and vivid illustrations are so playful and fun and engaging and they go together so well to make for a truly enjoyable reading adventure. The message at the end is wonderful — a great encouragement for ministries like “Locks of Love” and other child cancer treatment programs.

What a nice book. This tale of Sunny and her hard to control hair is so sweet and, of course, it includes a lesson – that making others happy can make you happy, too. Beautiful illustrations move the story along to a happy conclusion for both Sunny and the other children in the book, who benefit from her selflessness. A perfect story for young kids – especially girls, but I think boys will get the idea, too. Nicely done. Definitely worth five stars.

This book was a delightful read out loud, the vibe is happy and everything rhymes adorably. Great to read to my little girl who never wants to brush or cut her hair, so it is a great problem solver for us with positive encouragement! Love it.
