Liam’s First Cut
By @havingoursay Taye Jones
Illustrated By @dezcarter

Book overview:

In her debut, children’s book, “Liam’s First Cut:’Taye Jones weaves together the beauty of fatherhood, community, and neurodiversity as Liam, an autistic Black child prepares for his first visit to a barbershop by using support from his family and school to manage his expectations and process sensory information he encounters.

This book carries so much meaning to me! My nephew Johnny is 16 and is autistic. He is taller than me now but was born a micro premie at 24 weeks. He is smart, loving and has a very dry sense of humor! A true teenager now.

Our family is super lucky to have Uncle Rod aka Uncle Garage. He is a barber and is fantastic with kids.

I wish we had this book for Johnny when he was younger! I know it would have been super helpful. He looks so much like the character in the book.

This is why representation matters. Kids need to see themselves in books.

I also love the bond that shared between father and son in this book.
