Book review by @ihaveabookforthat

A wonderfully in depth and thoughtful review of Ada’s Wash Day.

“I love books that create a sense of nostalgia…Ada’s Wash Day is a beautiful ode to Black hair, Black hair care, and mother-daughter bonding. My son was able to relate to Ada as well… This book is a gem that I highly recommend.”
