Mini Myths: Brush Your Hair, Medusa! tells the story of Medusa, who stubbornly refuses to care for her hair. Her long locks grow knottier and dirtier with each passing page, eliciting frozen expressions of shock from her family. Despite this, nothing convinces Medusa to brush her hair.

Only her hairdresser approaches Medusa with bravery and a blade, successfully solving the problem with a short haircut! All are pleased with this drastic yet adorable solution.

Leslie Patricelli's depictions of this physical comedy bring a lively visual narrative to Joan Holub's expertly focused text. The book includes a summary of the original Medusa's Wild Hair myth at the end.

Also available in the Mini Myths series: Don't Get Lost, Odysseus and Good Job, Athena!
