Family bonds can teach us more than any classroom — especially when your uncle is the coolest barber in the neighborhood.
In this joyful and culturally rich read-aloud from Growing Pages Books, young Mateo spends the weekend with his Uncle Ray. Inside the lively barbershop, Mateo discovers the fun, energy, and community spirit of his uncle’s world — from sweeping hair to learning the art of the perfect fade.
Filled with warmth, laughter, and Puerto Rican cultural touches, Mateo learns that love, guidance, and inspiration can be found in everyday family moments.
A Weekend with Uncle Ray by S. Thomas helps children ages 3–10:
• Celebrate family bonds and the wisdom of relatives

• Discover that dreams can grow from everyday experiences
• Learn the value of hard work and helping others
