Page 1
Girl is shown upside down on the right side of the image, hanging from the top edge with her legs hooked over it. Her voluminous curly hair cascades downward due to gravity, forming a large, dense mass of bouncy spring-like curls that fills much of the right portion of the frame. One hand holds a single curl stretched out, about to release it. She has a calm, content expression with half-lidded eyes, as if enjoying the springy bounce of her curls. The background is a warm, flat golden-tan color with no other objects or setting details.

Jade hangs by her legs. Her curly locks bob and spring and shine. 'See that?' she grins. 'Curly locks are the best. Straight locks can not do this!'

Page 2
On the left side of the image, a girl is lying on the ground (seen from above), smiling gently, with her straight golden hair splayed out dramatically in all directions around her head like a starburst against a warm golden background. She wears glasses and has a calm, contented expression. The right side of the image is plain golden background.

Her pal has smooth, straight locks. They shine in the sun. 'Straight locks stay in place,' her pal tells Jade. Jade grins. They do shine a bit.

On the right side of the image, the Girl stands smiling with one hand reaching down to scratch the Cat behind the ears, while the Cat sits upright in the center-right with its curled tail visible, eyes half-closed contentedly. To the left, a monkey hangs upside down from above with its tail curled tight, waving one hand playfully. A chameleon sits nearby with a perfect spiral-curled tail, looking on with a cheerful expression. The scene is set against a plain warm golden-tan background.

Jade pets her black cat. The cat is tame, and its tail is a fine coil. See all the tails! They twist and coil. 'Curly tails win!' Jade smiles.

Page 4
In the lower half of the image, Girl is visible on the far left, grinning as she looks toward a row of animals beside her. To her right stand a horse, a cow, and a lion, all facing forward with their straight tails visible — the horse's tail is long and flowing with a mane of hair at the bottom, the cow's tail is thin with a tassel at the tip, and the lion's tail is straight with a golden tuft at the end. The background is a plain warm golden-yellow, with the top half empty.

Jade greets the herd and the big cat. All the tails hang straight, not curly. 'Nice tails,' Jade tells them, but she is not so keen.

Page 5
On the right side of the image, Girl is walking up a curved, winding staircase with a wooden banister, gripping the railing with her left hand. She has an awed, whispering expression with wide eyes, as if imagining herself in a fairy tale. She is mid-step, one foot raised to the next stair. The staircase spirals elegantly upward to the right with vertical balusters visible along the railing. The left side of the image is plain warm-toned background, leaving space for text.

Jade takes the steps up and up. The steps bend and twist as they rise. 'Steps can coil!' she gasps. She gazes up with a big smile.

Page 6
On the left side of the image, Girl sits cross-legged on the ground with her chin resting on both hands, looking slightly upward with a curious, wondering expression. Cat lies curled up beside her like a fuzzy blanket with its tail raised in a curly spiral, gazing up at Girl with half-lidded eyes. The background is a plain warm golden-tan color with no additional setting details, leaving the right side entirely open.

Jade sits and thinks. Her cat dozes beside her in a soft coil. 'Is curly the best shape all the time?' Jade asks. 'Yes. Yes, it is!'

Page 7
On the right side of the image, a framed photograph hangs on a wall, showing Girl standing proudly at the peak of a mountain with her biggest, proudest grin. She stands upright on the rocky summit with her arms raised in triumph. Below the peak, a curling path twists and winds its way up the mountainside. The photograph is set against a plain warm-toned background, with the left side of the image left as empty background.

Here is a pic of Jade on top of a big hill. A path twists up the hillside. Jade grins with pride. 'That path kept me safe!'

Page 8
On the left side of the image, Girl is seated at a surface, leaning forward with a pencil gripped in her right hand. In front of her, a sheet of paper shows wobbly, tangled attempts at straight lines. She has a determined expression with a slight frown of concentration, as if telling herself to keep practicing. The background is a plain warm tan/gold color with no additional scene elements, leaving the right side open.

Jade takes a tool to make lines. She aims for a straight line, but it comes out bendy. She tests it twice more. Nope! Straight lines are so hard.

Page 9
On the right side of the image, Girl is shown seated, smiling gently with a calm, content expression, pencil in hand as she draws. To her left, flowing curvy lines loop and swirl across the page — resembling vines, waves, and underground burrows. The background is a warm, solid tan/golden color, with the left portion kept clear for text overlay.

Then Jade makes bendy lines. They loop and twist as vines. So fine! Jade smiles a wide smile. 'Bendy lines are the best lines!'

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Girl stands between two giant spiral pastries, each curled in a perfect golden coil, laughing with her mouth open. The Cat peeks out from behind one of the pastries, with just its head and pointed ears visible, pale yellow-green eyes gleaming mischievously. The scene is set against a warm golden-tan background, with the right side left as plain background for text overlay.

Jade sees two big buns. Each bun is a grand coil! Her cat peeks out from a bun. 'That is not a place to hide!' Jade yells with a grin.

Page 11
On the right side of the image, Girl is leaning forward with her chin resting on one hand, gazing toward three spiral-shaped buns on the center-left. She has a thoughtful, contemplative expression with furrowed brows, as if carefully considering which bun to choose. The three curly buns sit on a counter, each with a tight spiral pattern. The scene is set against a warm golden-tan background.

Three buns sit in a line. Jade gazes at them for a long time. Can she pick the bun with the best coil? It is so hard! 'I can not pick!' she tells the buns.

Page 12
On the left side of the image, Girl stands behind an open cupboard, grinning broadly as she looks at an assortment of snack-filled jars and baskets in front of her. The shelves display a mix of curly snacks (pretzels, cheese puffs) and straight snacks (breadsticks, crackers) in various jars and baskets. The right side of the image is plain golden-tan background, left open for text.

Jade checks the snack shelf. Bendy snacks and straight sticks sit side by side. They all seem so good! Jade grins wide. 'Straight snacks are fine as well. Come, pals! It is snack time!'
