Thanks to her wild head of hair, Malie gets all tangled up with an unexpected cast of characters in this funny, stylish twist of a tall tale.

Malie is a little girl with huge, uncontrollable hair. And this morning, it seems wilder than ever. She tries to comb it. She tries to hide it, but nothing works! And things go from bad to worse when her mother sends her out to run some errands.

At the bakery, Malie's hair sweeps a tray of cupcakes off the counter. A flock of birds makes her irresistible nest a home. A child on a tricycle slips and flips - but enjoys the softest landing in Malie's hair.

Her wild mane becomes more and more of a burden, both physically and emotionally. But after a quick nap, Malie can appreciate the world anew. She smells delicious cupcakes, hears a chorus of birds singing, and meets a new friend who happens to have curly hair, too.

In her eagerly anticipated authorial debut, Nathalie Dion draws on personal experience, hilarious hyperbole and delightful idioms to spin a tall tale that will tickle all readers - curly-haired or not.

Reviews for My Mad Hair Day

Underneath all of the far-fetched fun, there's a wise message about accepting and loving yourself. * Quill & Quire * In a short and simple way, My Mad Hair Day delivers a message of self-acceptance. * CM: Canadian Review of Materials * An engaging, unruly romp that untangles the route to self-acceptance. * Canadian Children’s Book News * Dion includes plenty of colorful pages to entertain reluctant hair-combers. * Winnipeg Free Press *
