“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! —Synopsis provided by Beach Lane Books
Saturday Morning at the ‘Shop tells the story of a neighborhood barbershop that serves as almost as a community center. It’s full of joy, energy and friendship. Author Keenan Jones’ text is fun to read aloud, and Ken Daley’s bright illustrations have great movement and expression.
