About this title

Synopsis

Looking for books celebrating natural curly hair?

Wash Day by Monique Mayers is a vibrant, beautifully illustrated guide designed for young Black and biracial children with curly hair. Unlike typical children's books, Wash Day goes beyond the narrative of self-acceptance and serves as an engaging, practical tool that teaches children as young as three how to care for their natural hair.

Through fun rhymes and step-by-step instructions, it introduces essential hair care techniques like shampooing, conditioning, and styling, empowering children to take control of their own hair care routine.

This book is particularly valuable for parents, grandparents, and educators who want to instil confidence and independence in children while embracing and celebrating natural textures.

It's also an indispensable resource for families with biracial children, helping parents who may be new to curly hair care. With the increasing focus on diversity and representation in children's literature, Wash Day offers something truly unique-a guide that both teaches and uplifts.

This is a must-have for any home, school, or library looking to provide young readers with tools that promote self-love, confidence, and an early understanding of hair care.
