Cody is a fun and energetic boy who loves his crazy curly hair, even if it means eating chicken hair soup. Join Cody and his crazy curls as he realizes that they are a part of who he is and make him happy.
Cody's Crazy Curls encourages kids to embrace their uniqueness. By helping kids embrace the qualities that make them unique, we not only boost their confidence but can also guide them to accept and value the differences they see in others.
