Laurie Halse Anderson is a well-known author of award winning chapter book.  This story of Zoe’s wild hair is one of her picture books.  Zoe’s beautiful red hair has a mind of its own.  It opens cookie jars, plays with the cat, and even learns how to fly!  In kindergarten, it helped out around the classroom, but in first grade, Ms. Trisk had rules!  No wild hair!  It wasn’t until a disastrous science lesson about the planets, did Zoe’s hair finally win Ms. Trisk’s approval.  Ard Hoyt’s energetic ink and watercolor illustrations are a terrific match with Zoe’s rambunctious hair.
