It’s a good introduction to the black American experience at a children’s level. The themes of family bonds, working and persevering to reach one’s dream and the importance of community are wonderful. The book is told from the perspective of a young girl named Sarah Jean. She describes her favorite relative and his dream of opening his own barbershop. Until then, he goes to his customers’ homes cutting hair and is the only black barber in the county. She says most people didn’t believe he would really do it, but he continues to work toward his dream despite the setbacks he faces. Though Uncle Jed is ambitious, he is community oriented and in hard times he accepts whatever compensation people can give. He finally achieves his dream and opens his barbershop before he dies. The illustration for this page is my favorite of the book, showing a crowd of beaming customers applauding as he gives the first shape up in his own shop. The book briefly introduces sharecropping, segregation, and the Great Depression in ways that children will understand. The definition given for each is simple and a good beginning point for kids. Segregation is mentioned specifically when Sarah Jean has to go to the hospital, described in part with “There were separate public rest rooms, separate water fountains, separate schools. It was called segregation. So in the hospital, we had to go to the colored waiting room.” It’s an excellent book to use when introducing the history to children while also supporting the following of one’s dreams. Black history isn’t covered enough in education and this is one of the books I will be using to supplement that deficit. The illustrations are nice, soft and fill both pages. This is such a relatable and beautiful story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super book for many reasons *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019* This is a great book. Classic. It also has been used by me for inspirational talks and as an introduction to workshops on gratitude and generosity. I have even sent it abroad to some of my English speaking friends who live and work in poor African cultures. It gives individuals a chance to practice their English reading skills. It has also been helpful as well as a tool to work at counteracting the myth that everyone in America is rich and focused totally on materialism ( an attitude that I have encountered on several occasions during my mission trips to more places than I want to mention ) I have used it also as a socialization tool when I read stories to both children as well as mixed age groups - an opener for discussion. I have found that even people with whom I interact on dementia or memory loss units-in nursing homes enjoy the pictures and can recall events in their own lives about haircuts and support from others when illness strikes. It also beautifully exemplifies the idea That poverty does not define your value as a human being. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of my six year old's favorite books. Beautiful illustrations and a beautiful storyline *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018* This is one of my six year old's favorite books. Beautiful illustrations and a beautiful storyline. It also provided a wealth of opportunities to talk about important real-life subjects with kids - both historical and modern day - including the Great Depression and segregation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/18329027-uncle-jeds-barbershop](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/18329027-uncle-jeds-barbershop) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
