Jordan's Perfect Haircut

Celebrate a Black boy's first haircut in this joyful book from the creator of the popular Princess Hair and Don't Touch My Hair!

Jordan loves his hair: soft like a cloud, regal like a crown. He doesn't want a haircut to change all that.

Jordan's friends are getting new haircuts for picture day at school. Shape-ups, low fades, frohawks, and more--there are way too many styles to choose from. But when Mama brings Jordan to the barbershop, he sees everyone's haircuts are like magic.

Can Jordan find a style that's just right for him?

With her trademark bright colors and expressive characters, Sharee Miller teaches confidence and self-love through the timeless tradition of school picture day.
