Bella's a bit of a rebel. She knows her own mind and there is one thing she knows for certain - haircuts are out! So Bella's hair just grows and grows.

This humorous story about Bella's hair continues with the search activities in te reo Māori that appeared in "Nana's Shed”" and extends the counting in English and te reo to 20.

Bella's Fringe is a new Kiwi childrens picture book from Nana's Shed Books.

Remember Jacob from Nanas Shed? Bella is his sister and she's a bit of a rebel. She knows her own mind and there is one thing she knows for certain - haircuts are out. So, over the years, her hair just grows and grows.

The humorous story line and illustrations of Bella's Fringe will appeal to Kiwi kids who are creative, inventive, adventurous, and who don't fit traditional stereotypes. Kids will also enjoy searching for hidden objects, counting in English and te reo Maori and learning to tell the time, or just cuddling up for a read with those who share books with them. Children who have just mastered reading will also enjoy the easy flow of its rhyming couplets and vivid, colourful illustrations.
