Book Overview

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.

They even whipped their hair back and forth dancing around to Jelaya's favorite jam! Wash day had never been this fun before.

But did Jelaya make a mistake?

After all the fun and dancing, she remembered what came after washing and conditioning her hair...

The brush! The comb! The pulling and tugging! The sitting for hours while Mom made so many parts and so many braids!
