In this new picture book by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, a boy is convinced that his super powers come from his hair. Like the radioactive spider that gave Spiderman his super powers and the energy from the sun that Superman stores to obtain his super human strength, the young hero of Super Hair-o and the Barber of Doom, Rocco, thinks his abilities come from his shock of red hair. The longer it gets, the stronger he becomes.  

Super Hair-o and his wild-haired posse are unstoppable until one day Rocco is dragged to the evil villain's chair and robbed of his powers. Will the gang ever get their groove back? An empowering story with an ode to comic books, Super Hair-o and the Barber of Doom is bursting with bold images and energy and is a feel-good and funny book for emergent comic book fans and parents who grew up on them.
