Little Harriet just wants to play in the rain. But when the hood of her yellow raincoat will not fit over her big pineapple ponytail curls, Harriet feels frustrated, mad, and most of all, sad. She does not like her big curly hair at all. When Harriet’s mother notices she is upset, she comforts her daughter by telling her that her curls are big so they can wave to the sun and that her hair is big, like her own, because it is healthy. When Harriet agrees to let her mother braid her big beautiful hair, will it finally fit into the hood of her yellow jacket so she can splash in the puddles with her brother? Harriet’s Yellow Jacket shares the tale of a little girl’s battle with her big curly locks as she learns to accept and love her hair, no matter what its size.
