Review Detail

Saturday Morning at the ‘Shop explores the community surrounding the barbershop for African American males. This setting is outside of my experience of getting haircuts, so it was interesting to see how the barbershop can be the cultural hub for the community. The author conveys a sense of belonging, connection, and joy experienced through a day of hanging out with your peers and elders and taking pride in your culture. The illustrations complement the vibe the author establishes. Overall, this book shows a positive representation of African American males.
