We all remember that childhood phase of eschewing bath time. But what happens when our own kids decide dirt is a badge of honour? This playful book meets little ones in the muck and mire of their no-wash zone, taking parents along on the messy ride.Infused with humour about a universal childhood ritual, Washing Woes breaks the cleanliness standoff gently. It highlights, through chuckles not chiding, the very grown-up importance of washing up. No heavy-handed lecturing here! Instead, this book meets children where they are while bringing parents laughter and wisdom.Whether your offspring is currently waging war with water or would just enjoy giggling through the tribulations of a dirt-loving tyke not unlike themselves, Washing Woes delivers fun for all. It reminds us that while the path to cleanliness brings some funny detours, the destination is a very good place to be.So settle in alongside some sudsy showdown stories, and appreciate anew the critical life lesson masked in bubbly delight: dirty kid today makes for healthy adult tomorrow. Happy washing!

I have been writing and drawing since childhood. I have accumulated numerous drawings and scripts and short stories that have mounted over the years. Now, as a mother of three, a stepmother of two and working in a school of children, I have decided to turn my hobby into something more functional, starting with children’s books. Children are such interesting, fun quirky characters; there’s always something to write about. I also now understand what they like, what captivates them and clever ways to make them learn and understand basic morals without them realising they’ve learned something. And at heart, I’m just a big kid myself.
