No Way, Wash Day

$53⁰⁰

Description

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-honoured tradition of trying and failing to thwart it.
