Saturday Morning at the 'Shop

Spend Saturday morning at the barbershop in this upbeat picture book celebration of the spaces and places that bring communities together.

It’s Saturday morning. We hop in the car. Mom’s heading to work, and I’m geeked to go spend the day at the ’shop!

The barbershop is a sound booth, an art gallery, a playground, a classroom, and so much more. It’s a place for artistry and comradery and, most importantly, community. Come spend the day feeling all the style and wisdom and joy at the ’shop!
