Sinopse

Sarah Jean´s Uncle Jed was the only black barber in the county. He had a kind heart and a warm smile. And he had a dream. Living in the segregated South of the 1920´s, where most people were sharecroppers. Uncle Jed had to travel all over the countyto cut his customers´ hair. He lived for the day when he could open his very own barbershop. But it was a long time, and many setbacks, from five-year-old Sarah Jean´s emergency operation to the bank failures of the Great Depression, before the joyful day when Uncle Jed opened his shiny new shop - and twirled a now grown-up Sarah Jean around in the barber chair. With James Ransome´s richly colored paintings brimming with life, this is a stirring story of dreams long deferred and finally realized.
