Thank you for the suggestion, but this is not it.

Hi Kris,This enquiry is for a patron (I work in a public library). I asked her these questions. She says that the illustrations were simple and realistic, but she is not sure whether they were black & white or not.
Thanks for trying to help!
Camilla's New Hairdo maybe? Someone made a video: https://youtu.be/h7IrnJoa0pM and there are rope lines deliveries including piano.
@Rainbowheart and Ayshe: Let me run this suggestion by my patron, but it is a strong possibility. Thank you very much for helping. I'll you know.
The title is indeed Camilla's New Hairdo by Tricia Tusa, 1991.@Ayshe and Rainbowheart: Thank you very much for your tremendous help! My patron is thrilled to have been reunited with that book, and she enjoyed having it read to her thanks to the YouTube video!
Take care.
What's the Name of That Book???

Camilla's New Hairdo (other topics)Maxie (other topics)
May have been published by Scholastic Press. It's possible that the book had a soft cover.
The child is fascinated by the home delivery system. In the end, probably, the child persuades the neighbor to come out of her house and take a walk.
On the cover of the book: It might have been the picture of a woman wearing a headscarf, walking with a child, noticing flowers???
Thank you to anyone who will be able to help me find the title and/or the author of this book!
