Hedi the Hedgehog and the Sparkle in the Pond
by
Charly Ann
Hedi the Hedgehog is the heart of the Critter Crew, but poor Hedi is having a bad hair day. No matter what she tries, from spray to mousse to straightener, three of her spikes just won’t be tamed. Hedi goes out to see her friends in search of a solution. Each of the other animals in the pond is wearing a hat more unique and wonderful than the last, but will any of them be the right fit for Hedi? Or will she be stuck with a bad hair day forever? Hedi the Hedgehog and the Sparkle in the Pond is the first book in a series about Hedi and the Critter Crew. Hedi's bad hair day teaches children that our quirks are part of the beauty of who we are, and highlights what makes each of us special. It reminds us that true beauty and joy come from kindness, friendship, and embracing who you are—not from great hair days.
