Jordan’s Perfect Haircut

Celebrate a Black boy’s first haircut in this joyful book from Sharee Miller.

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.

"This heartwarming picture book models the joy and strength of just being oneself. While this title focuses on the Black hair care experience, its positive portrayal of self-expression will resonate with readers of all identities. This will find a home anywhere."―School Library Journal, starred review
