Catching the Wild Waiyuuzee - Hardcover

Not wanting to get her hair done, a young girl imagines that she is being chased in the wild jungle and so must be swift to avoid being captured, in an amusing tale for young children.

Rita Williams-Garcia is the author of several acclaimed novels for young adult readers including Fast Talk on a Slow Track, a Parents Choice Honor book and Like Sisters on the Home Front, a Coretta Scott King Honor Book. Inspired to write Catching the Wild Waiyuuzee by a daughter who would do everything in her power to avoid getting her hair combed and braided, Rita knows that wherever there's a waiting bed or bath or comb, you're sure to find a Wild Waiyuuzee. Rita lives in Jamaica, New York, and she is the mother of two daughters.
