Larkin and the Wild Things
by Carrie Critchlow


Larkin does not like to have her hair brushed. In fact, she dislikes it so much she puts on a hat and does not brush her hair for a year. Then one morning she wakes up to find her hair has turned green. There are wild things living in her hair, and she thinks they might bite! Larkin’s mother calls the hairdresser right away. Can she help? Will Larkin finally let her hair be washed and brushed? What will they find amidst all the tangles and knots? And will those wild things ever go away?


Carrie Critchlow has an educational background in child development and diverse needs. She enjoys hiking and being with family and friends. She lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia, with her dog, and her daughter and her bunny.
