Compare Uncle Jed's Barber Shop by Margaree King Mitchell, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters

Sarah Jean's Uncle Jed was the only black barber in the county. He travelled far to cut his customers' hair-and he dreamed of the day when he could open his very own barbershop. With Ransome's richly colored paintings brimming with life, this is a stirring tale of dreams long deferred and finally realized. 1994 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book | Uncle Jed's Barber Shop by Margaree King Mitchell, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters
