"Bella’s Fringe" is a new Kiwi children’s picture book in the series from Nana's Shed Books. Remember Jacob from "Nana’s Shed"? Bella is his sister. Using the simple theme of a haircut, it tells the humorous story of young Bella, who is a creative and innovative rebel. She won’t have her hair cut because it has so many practical and comic uses - as a rug for her knees, a shade from the sun, a hammock for her brother or a swing for her cat. Her crowning glory is a problem for everyone, except her, until she becomes hopelessly tangled in it. Then she chooses to take drastic action.

She is semi-retired and has decided to use her leisure time to turn the invisible “Magic Story Book” of her classroom years into visible storybooks for the enjoyment of children and the people who share books with them.
