Anyone who's ever walked out of the hairdressers feeling slightly taller, more confident and ready to face life afresh will appreciate this 'Ode' to the feeling in this multi award-winning picture book from American author, Derrick Barnes, illustrated by Gordon James.
A riot of incredible, bright illustrations accompany stunning text, describing the feelings of joy, pride and exultation felt by the recipient of a 'Fresh Cut'.
I loved this...the words encapsulate the feeling of newfound confidence perfectly ( 'A fresh cut makes boys fly') and the illustrations jump off the page.
A lovely, lively joyous tale.
