An Ode to the Fresh Cut
We just added this book to the Lobit collection. It is a masterpiece! Author Derrick Barnes transforms the everyday happening of getting a haircut into a life-altering event. He relays how that perfect cut makes a boy feel and elevates him to that place where nothing can stop him from achieving his greatest goals. He describes each flawless move the barber makes and how his precision "frames your swagger."
The illustrations are outstanding! Flipping the pictures crafted by Gordon C. James is a gallery walk. The brush strokes of the painted pages tempt you to tear out a leaf and frame it for you walls.
We will celebrate this book with barbers from Dapper Dan's coming in at the end of September to demonstrate a couple of the styles mentioned in the book. We are sure at the end of this book event, each student will leave feeling "magnificent. Flawless. Like royalty."
