Don't Wash Winston

Don't Wash Winston follows Liam, whose favorite teddy bear gets muddy, and whose dad decides it's time for a wash. Convinced the washing machine is too big, loud, and scary, Liam hatches a plan to hide Winston away, in a story that's equal parts funny and heartfelt.

Written by West Virginia native Ashley Belote, it's a gentle read for young toy-protectors about learning that even a most-beloved friend sometimes needs a bath.
