Rapunzel thinks about her hair-and only her hair. If she ever escapes her tower, will she be prepared for the real world? Is there a place in the kingdom for a girl so hairbrained? The first section of the book puts a new spin on the classic tale through bouncy rhymes and lively illustrations. The second section is designed for young readers to enjoy independently or with adult mentorship. Discuss what traits girls should really value in themselves in a world where so much emphasis is based on appearance. End by writing a fairy tale starring you and your unique talents! This project is made possible by the support of the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency.
