Furqan’s First Haircut / El primer corte de mesita de Furqan 

Featured artist: Robert Liu Trujillo 

Author and illustrator Robert Liu Trujillo conducts a live book reading of his book, Furqan’s First Haircut, a story about an Afro-Latino boy’s imagination, his first haircut, and the relationship between him and his father. A live Q & A will follow the reading. 

About the book: “Furqan Moreno wakes up and decides that today he wants his haircut for the first time. His dad has just the style; a flat top fade! He wants his new haircut to be cool but when they get to the barbershop, he’s a bit nervous about his decision. He begins to worry that his hair will look funny, imagining all the flat objects in his day to day life. Before he knows it, his haircut is done and he realizes that his dad was right-Furqan’s first flat top is the freshest!”
