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.
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.
