"Bedhead" by Jack E. Davis is a whimsical and humorous tale that follows a young girl named Margaret who struggles with her unruly hair, which seems to have a mind of its own. Each morning, her bedhead transforms into outrageous styles, causing both chaos and laughter at home and school. Despite the challenges her hair brings, Margaret learns to embrace her uniqueness and the joy that comes with being unapologetically herself. Through her journey, readers are reminded of the importance of self-acceptance and the charm of individuality, showcasing how our quirks can be sources of strength.

Golden Sower Award - Primary
This book was recognised in the Primary category of the Golden Sower Award . Just as The Sower sows seeds, symbolizing the agriculture, life and prosperity of the state, the The Golden Sower Award seeks to sow seeds of literacy in children by encouraging them to read. The award became affiliated with the Nebraska Library Association as a committee under the School, Children and Young Peoples Section of the NLA in 1985. In 2016, the committee revised the categories of books in order to better describe the generally intended reading levels of the program. The three categories are now: Picture Books: (formerly Primary) generally appropriate for K-2 children; Chapter Books: (formerly Intermediate) intended to be appropriate for grades 3-5; Novel: (formerly young adult) appropriate for grades 6-8. In 2023, the committee revised and renamed the categories, keeping similar grade level designations, but adding an additional category targeted at high school readers. Each year, thousands of Nebraskas youth participate in the Golden Sower Award by reading titles, talking about the books with others, holding book battles, voting for their favorites, and throwing celebrations for the winners.
