Recensioner i media

"A tender ode to the intergenerational bonds behind the [wash day] ritual. [A] gently intimate celebration of hair and heritage." — Publishers Weekly, starred review"While the target audience is Black girls with natural hair, the story of dreading an experience that later proves enjoyable is universal to almost all young readers. The positive representation and relatability, the expressively detailed artwork in a muted yet warm palette, the depiction of a supportive family, and an opinionated protagonist all come together to make the story feel like a warm hug." — Booklist
