Mallorie Moody is proud to announce the release of 'The Life of a Hair Scrunchie,' a children's book that was initially created as part of a sixth-grade writing assessment. The book will be available Sept. 23 on the Amazon Kindle. 'The Life of a Hair Scrunchie' will feature a collection of short stories from the eyes of two hair scrunchies named Abigail and Madison. After being purchased from a local Wal-Mart, the two scrunchies try to hold up to the standards of a new world that requires a different kind of flexibility.
