Liddy Lou's Summer of Wild Hair! is a sweet story about a fierce little girl named Liddy Lou who hates to have her wild, curly, and unruly hair combed. One June day, she declares her independence, stating that she and her hair are going on summer vacation and that she isn't going to groom her hair for the whole summer. Her family is concerned, but Liddy Lou is adamant about not combing or washing her hair, a practice that leads to all manner of things getting caught in her hair, some of them fantastic!

But then September rolls around and school starts again and the fierce and independent Liddy Lou is faced with a decision.
