Page 1
On the right side of the image, Allie sits on the floor of a cosy indoor room, kneeling and holding up a framed photograph with a delighted, open-mouthed smile. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and shoulder-length brown hair. She wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. Scattered around her on a striped rug are open picture books, alphabet blocks, a small teddy bear, and a yarn ball. A bookshelf stands to the left, and a wooden side table on the far right holds another framed photo and a small potted plant, with a window above letting in warm daylight through green curtains. The framed photo Allie is holding shows a woman with short hair and a big, pretty smile, and another framed photo of the same woman sits on the side table.

Jen gets a pic out and lifts it up. In the pic, Mum has short hair, and Jen has a wish.

On the left side of the image, Allie is kneeling on a striped mat on the floor. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and shoulder-length brown hair — now being snipped at with a small pair of red craft scissors she holds above her head with both hands. She has a cheerful, determined smile. She wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. Dark brown hair clippings float and scatter through the air around her. The right side of the image is plain, warm-toned background.

Snip, snip! Jen cuts at the hair with the red tool. Bits flip out, all about the room.

Page 3
On the right side of the image, Allie stands or sits holding up a small round light-blue hand mirror, gazing into it with a calm, anticipatory expression — the moment just before she sees herself. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and her brown hair is now badly cut — chopped into uneven clumps of different lengths with ragged edges. She wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. She is near a green polka-dotted stool. The scene is set indoors against a warm, soft beige background.

Jen lifts the round mirror up and peeks in it. She looks, and she blinks.

Page 4
On the left side of the image, Allie is shown from the shoulders up with a dramatically upset expression — mouth wide open in a wail or cry, eyebrows furrowed in distress. One hand is raised near her chin in a gesture of shock or dismay. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and her brown hair is horridly cut — poking out in clumps of all different lengths with ragged, uneven edges. She wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. The background is a warm, plain beige/cream tone with the right side left open. The scene has soft, warm indoor lighting.

Ouch! Jen lets out a loud, loud wail. The hair is all clumps, and it looks bad.

Page 5
On the right side of the image, Allie is kneeling on the floor with a red bowl of noodles upturned on her head, noodles draped over her badly-cut brown hair and scattered on the ground around her. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. She holds her small round light-blue hand mirror in front of her face, peering into it with a surprised, wide-eyed expression. The scene is set indoors against a soft pink background with a pale floor.

Jen gets the food out and tips the dish on top. It drips, and she pouts at the mirror.

Page 6
On the left side of the image, Allie stands in the foreground with a dismayed, open-mouthed expression, holding green bean pods on top of her head with both hands raised — the beans drape down like wild, tangled hair over her badly-cut brown hair. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. In the upper-left corner, Mum, Dad, and Sister are grouped together, all laughing and amused at Allie's bean-hair attempt. Mum has chin-length wavy brown hair, large round black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a coral-red short-sleeved V-neck top and blue jeans. Dad is stocky with warm medium-brown skin, large round white eyes with black pupils, a wide round nose, a full curly dark-brown beard and matching curly dark-brown hair, wearing a light blue short-sleeved button-up shirt with a front chest pocket and dark navy-blue pants — he holds a book. Sister has golden-blonde hair in two short pigtails with pink hair ties, large dark eyes, light/fair skin, and wears an orange short-sleeve dress over a pink t-shirt — she clutches a pillow, grinning with delight. The scene is set indoors against a plain, light background. The right ~40% of the image is empty white space.

Jen hangs green pods on top as long hair. Mum and Dad and Sis come in, and out come loud snorts.

Page 7
On the right side of the image, Allie stands in the foreground holding her small round light-blue hand mirror up to her face, looking dismayed and uncomfortable. She has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. Her badly-cut brown hair is covered in droopy spinach leaves arranged like a messy wig on top. In the upper-right corner, Mum and Dad stand together laughing heartily at Allie's spinach hairstyle. Mum has chin-length wavy brown hair, large round black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a coral-red short-sleeved V-neck top and blue jeans. Dad is stocky with warm medium-brown skin, large round white eyes with black pupils, a wide round nose, a full curly dark-brown beard and matching curly dark-brown hair, wearing a light blue short-sleeved button-up shirt with a front chest pocket and dark navy-blue pants — he holds his belly laughing. Sister is just below them, also laughing with delight and holding a red ball. Sister has golden-blonde hair in two short pigtails with pink hair ties, large dark eyes, light/fair skin, and wears an orange short-sleeve dress over a pink t-shirt. The scene is set indoors against a plain, light background.

Jen sets green bits on top and checks the mirror with a pout. Dad and Mum and Sis snort out loud.

Page 8
On the left side of the image, Allie is crouched and hiding behind a large red couch on the floor of a living room, with only the top of her head and her large black eyes peeking out — her badly-cut brown hair visible above the couch. A pair of red craft scissors lies on the carpet nearby. The scene is set indoors in a cosy living room with a window, green floral curtains, and a small wooden table visible in the upper portion of the image. On the right side, Mum stands across the room calling out to Allie with a concerned expression. Mum has chin-length wavy brown hair, large round black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a coral-red short-sleeved V-neck top and blue jeans.

Jen crouches and hides at the big red couch. Mum looks about the room and spots Jen.

Page 9
On the right side of the image, the whole family is gathered on and around a red couch in a cosy living room. Mum sits on the couch smiling broadly, holding up a small round light-blue hand mirror toward Allie. Mum has shoulder-length dark brown hair, large round black eyes, light/fair skin, and wears a coral-red short-sleeved top, blue jeans, and dark blue flat shoes. Allie sits beside Mum on the couch, looking delighted with a big grin as she sees herself in the mirror, one hand resting on her cheek. Allie has a round face, large black eyes, light/fair skin, bare feet, and her short brown hair now has a red hairband on it. She wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress with a small diamond pattern. Sister sits on the left end of the couch, turned toward the others and smiling happily. Sister has golden-blonde hair in two short pigtails with pink hair ties, large dark eyes, light/fair skin, and wears an orange short-sleeve top over a pink t-shirt with pink leggings and purple-and-white sneakers. Dad is perched on the arm of the couch behind them, laughing with his eyes closed. Dad is stocky with light/fair skin, large round white eyes with black pupils, a wide round nose, a full curly dark-brown beard and matching curly dark-brown hair, wearing a light blue short-sleeved button-up shirt with a front chest pocket and dark navy-blue pants, with bare feet. On the lower right, a small coffee table with a pink/lavender top holds a framed family photo and a second empty frame, and a round green polka-dot cushion sits on the floor nearby. The left portion of the image is plain light blue background. The hairband is red and has a little bow on it.

On the couch, Mum slips a red band on Jen. Jen peeks in the round mirror, and a grin sprouts.

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Allie stands facing forward with her eyes closed and a big, delighted smile, cupping both hands under her chin in a pleased, contented pose. She has a round face, large black eyes (closed), light/fair skin, and short badly-cut brown hair with a red headband with a red bow and gold flower accent. She wears a light purple/lavender short-sleeved dress. The background is plain white, leaving the right side completely open for text.

Jen grins a big grin. Short hair and a red band. Jen is a proud, proud kid. Outstanding!
