This book highlights a young boy who goes into the barbershop feeling like a “lump of clay” but comes out a totally new person. One with confidence and high self-esteem. The author takes the reader on a journey to the black barbershop where a boy believes that he can be anybody and do anything when he leaves with his fresh cut. The story is told in a rhythmic style that flows effortlessly. A great read for any young boy.
