How you would use with your students and brief summary: Camilla stays in her tower, giving herself exotic and interesting hairdos, until the day she has an unexpected visitor., The eccentric Camilla lives in a doorless tower where she spends her days shaping her long gray hair into elaborate shapes that resemble bowls of fruit, mountains, snails, and bees. When an inventive young girl finds her way into Camilla's home, she tries to convince Camilla to experience life outside of the tower. A good way to use with children is explaining how sometimes you have friends that are nothing like you or could be used on the day the nurse does hair checks to kind of ease their minds about it.
