We live in a world where every individual is different in numerous ways. On top of that, each generation of children comes with new life. Families cherish their children for many reasons, and they all deserve love. Now kids are going to become interested in different things. So as parents, we make sure to do our best to make sure they have everything they need.
Since kids are going to fall in love with just about everything, it’s hard to know what they want sometimes. Although, there is a vast amount of kids who love books. Whether it’s a wonderful picture book or a book they can read on their own. Books will forever be popular, and I think I have one selection that you just have to grab for your children. So check out all of the information I have for you below.
A Present To The Children’s Book World
Every children book offers something different whether it’s style, pictures, or lessons. Parents often look for fun books, but there will always be room for books that kids can learn something from. Derrick Barnes, the author of Ruby and the Booker Boys, has written another wonderful title the kids will love. His latest release is known as CROWN: An Ode to the Fresh Cut!
Crown: An Ode To The Fresh Cut by Derrick Barnes, is a book to remember for ages. He has written a wonderful striking story captures the burst of joy, self-pride, and confidence that comes when black boys get a new haircut. It’s a book he wrote that was inspired by childhood memories the time he spent in the barber’s chair. A boy goes in as a lump of clay and, with princely robes draped around his shoulders, a dab of cool shaving cream on his forehead, and a slow, steady cut, he becomes royalty. This rhythmic read-aloud is all about the ritual of a new haircut: sitting in the spinning chair, leaning back while the barber creates art with his clippers, peeking at that fresh cut in a handheld mirror when it’s all done, and seeing the you that you love the most.
Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut is brimming with lush illustrations created by artist Gordon C. James and full of heartfelt lessons that highlight:
- Themes of confidence, self-esteem, and black boy joy
- The loving, supportive community found in black barbershops
- The impact of culture and vibrant social gatherings on child development
- The special bond shared between black men and boys as they celebrate their beauty
This is a children’s book that offers everything a children’s book could possibly provide. So go ahead and check out all of the information I have for you above.
