Sneak peek:
"Hey sweetpea, let's try and tame that hair of yours a bit, hmm?" Katara said over her shoulder, grabbing a comb from the endtable. Fond memories of her youth niggled at the edge of her mind, mornings where her own mother calmed her waves back into a braid before sending her out to play. The last armful of clothes were dumped unceremoniously in the wardrobe, it was closed with an impressive thwump, and Katara was met with the one-two punch of sweet and blunt that only her daughter could deliver. The sweetness came in the form of a brilliant grin — it was still striking to see her own grin looking at her out of a small face rather than a mirror — while the blunt was in the message of the words. "Hm, okay, but not you. Dad does it better. I'll go find him!" With that, she snatched the comb from Katara's hand and skipped off in search of Aang, leaving one very baffled mother in her wake. "Dad does it better? Dad doesn't even have any hair, how could he do it better?!"
