What's your book about, and what inspired you to write it?
Marissa owns a pink dresser full of many different scrunchies of many different shapes and sizes; shiny, patterned, sparkly. Picture day is coming up at school and Marissa can not seem to find the perfect scrunchie that compliments her Picture day outfit this forces Marissa to wear a completely different hairstyle something she has never done before. She soon realizes that no matter what anyone says about her she doesn't need to wear a scrunchie to look beautiful.
