Not Just a Knot!

Not Just a Knot! is based on a mother and a child with very messy hair. The child tries to escape her mother’s brush and soon reveals that she has befriended a knot on her head. As the story continues, it is revealed that the child really just wants to spend time with her mum. At last, Mum understands and makes time to play a game, only after her hair has been brushed. Ahhh, so now finally the knot is gone...or is it?
