Book Review: I Won’t Wash My Hair by Aparna Kapur, Illustrated by Ogin Nayam

I Won’t Wash My Hair by Aparna Kapur, illustrated by Ogin Nayam is the story of Divya, who in the absence of her parents—who have gone away to Kolkata for two weeks didn’t want to wash her hair. And her wish gets fulfilled as she is living with her Aunt and her dog who is as unaware and uninterested as Divya would have liked. And thus, she refuses to wash her hair. Her hairs are filled with paintbrushes, pencils, peanuts, and whatnot, but she is enjoying her time by learning multiple things. But for how long would she be able to avoid washing her hair? Read the book to find out.

In this short book having less than 50 pages, the author has beautifully captured the attention of the readers. There was so much humour and fun and moments that one will remember for a long time for sure. The incidents in school with Ameena Ma’am are iconic and entertaining.

In the end, there is a learning activity for children about adjectives which will make them understand and learn it in a fun way. The illustrations by Ogin Nayam are stunning and give a very calming visual appeal to the book.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and it would be a fun read for the children. I’m sure parents will have a hard time and will be in a dilemma after reading this book with their children 😉🤫
