Ari J.'s Kinky, Curly Crown

Ari J. is in the first grade now, and she knew this school year would be perfect. She had perfect clothes. She had a perfect pair of glasses to give her perfect sight. She would be making perfect grades. She had the perfect friends: DJ, Rae, Dylan, and Taj. She even had the perfect teacher, Ms. Windsun.

The only not-perfect thing about Ari J. was her wild, unruly, kindergarten hair.
