Leo and the Haircut

By Ms. Missi Cappella

What if getting a haircut was the scariest thing in the world?

For Leo, it certainly feels that way!

With his wild imagination running faster than a pair of barber's scissors, Leo is convinced that a trip to the barber shop will end in disaster. What if the barber cuts off his ear? What if he sneezes at the worst possible moment? As his worries grow sillier and sillier, young readers will giggle along while recognizing some of their own "what if" fears.

With the loving support of his mom, a kind barber, and a little courage, Leo discovers that getting a haircut isn't nearly as frightening as he imagined. In fact... it might even be fun!

Written in playful rhyme and filled with colorful, expressive illustrations, Leo and the Haircut helps children understand that it's okay to feel nervous about new experiences-and that bravery doesn't mean you're never scared. It means trying anyway.

Perfect for children ages 3-7, this charming picture book is ideal for:

First haircuts and children who are nervous about barber shop or salon visitsBuilding confidence and emotional resilienceFamily story time and classroom read-aloudsBarber shops and salons looking to create a welcoming experience for young customers

Because sometimes the things we worry about the most turn out to be the easiest to overcome.
