No Way, Wash Day

By Adrienne Thurman

Book Overview

An exuberant debut picture book about a little girl trying to outmaneuver her mama to avoid wash day for her hair--and all the laughs and love her antics inspire--illustrated by Coretta Scott King Honor winner Kaylani Juanita. The perfect next read for fans of Hair Love and Don't Touch My Hair.

Nina Belle loves everything about her hair. Everything . . . except wash day.

Wash day is painful Wash day is boring She won't do it this week . . . no way

Nina Belle has plans to get out of the weekly routine, but Mama knows her way around wash day too--and maybe even the secret to enjoying it.

No Way, Wash Day is a cheeky and heartfelt look at a cultural touchstone and the time-honored tradition of trying and failing to thwart it.
