Max is going for a haircut – but Wendy’s Hairdressing Salon is too bright and noisy. He doesn’t like the cold water spray, the too-tight cloth round his shoulders or the spiky hair clips.
It’s all just too much for Max and he shouts, “STOP!” But Wendy has a wonderful idea. Maybe a cat, a soft cushion and some bubbles could make a haircut fun after all?
This beautiful, sensitively told story is perfect for any child anxious about having their hair cut.
Samareh Azadi was born and grew up in Iran and the geometrical shapes, textures and patterns of Iranian art have been a source of inspiration in her work. She was runner-up in the FAB Illustration Prize in 2021, specially commended for her "restrained colour palette, careful and considered use of detail, as well as her use of gorgeous printmaking techniques, which adds a lovely texture and tactile qualities to her work". Samareh has a Masters in Children's Illustration from Cambridge School of Art, and teaches in a school for high-functioning autistic children. She lives in Richmond, Surrey.
