by Gwendolyn Lavert (Author), Raymond Holbert (Illustrator), Francine Haskins (Illustrator)
In this celebration of everyday experiences, a young boy tries to figure out how his barber knows the definitions to all of his vocabulary words and uncovers a clever secret.
Rashaad gets his hair cut by the best barber in town. Mr. Bigalow is his name and words are his game--and that's what his cutting edge is all about! As Mr. Bigalow gives Rashaad a SPECIAL DELUXE haircut, Rashaad tries to stump him with words from his latest vocabulary list. But clever Mr. Bigalow always has the right answer. When Rashaad gets curious about Mr. Bigalow's methods, he discovers the secret to the barber's success.
Told with upbeat humor and delightful illustrations, The Barber's Cutting Edge shines a light on the meaningful interactions that take place in diverse communities every day and celebrates mentors of all cuts, fades, and shapes.
