Tiffany Golden

A sweet and honest exploration of the ups and downs of wash day.

Proceeds are invested into furthering medical research and education at Mayo Clinic.

Description

Meet Jelaya (jeh-LAY-uh.) She hates wash day.

The tugs! The scrubs! The pinching and pulling! Jelaya can’t think of a worse way to spend the day. That is, until her big sister Jazmin explains that this wash day will be different. Jelaya is going to wash Jazmin’s hair instead!

Wash Day is a sweet and honest exploration of the beauty and tradition of wash days. Offering gentle guidance and framing the all-day affair as an act of self-care, this picture book also serves as an avenue to demystify and educate others on natural haircare routines, which are often misunderstood and stigmatized.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education at Mayo Clinic.

"Every kid deserves to see a positive reflection of themselves in the media they consume. Not only does Wash Day contain helpful tips to make haircare routines easier for little Black girls, but Wash Day is also a celebration of natural hair, sisterhood, and self-care." —Jasmine Souers, Marketing Specialist
