Fredrick the Troll Wants New Hair is a playful story that chronicles a genuine quest from a child’s perspective.   Fredrick is a spunky little troll with humdrum moss hair. He wants new hair and sets out on a journey to find it. Ultimately his perseverance is rewarded, and he has magnificent new hair that is just right for him.   Fredrick’s adventure and his new floral hair are an allegory of how we come to know new ideas and make them our own. The people around us give us “seeds for thought”.  If we are like Fredrick, we can plant these ideas in the gardens of our minds, care for them dutifully and then we will have bright, beautiful ideas popping out of our heads!
