What is Bippity Bop Barbershop about?
Miles is nervous about his very first trip to the barbershop. The scissors look sharp, the razor buzzes loudly, and choosing a hairstyle feels like a big decision. Luckily, Dad is by his side, while the friendly barber and other customers offer encouragement. As Miles settles into the chair, he discovers that a haircut can be exciting rather than frightening. With a lively, jazzy rhythm and warm illustrations, this story celebrates courage, family, community and African-American identity.
