KALAMAZOO (MICH.)- Soul Food, haircuts, and fun were all a part of the unveiling event for the new children’s book, Benjamin Losford and His Handy Dandy Clippers. The event was hosted by the Kalamazoo Public Library on February 9, at the Douglass Community Center. It featured local authors, Sean and Sonya Hollins, authors of the new book, which is based on a true story. The illustrations were created by Kenjji Jumanne-Marshall, also of Kalamazoo.

In addition, it provided an affordable advertising source for small businesses in the community.
