From the Publisher
You have to be patient; beauty takes time. While Minji's mother visits her local salon, Minji creates a world of beauty all her own. An ode to the power of children's imaginations (and their parents' patience), Minji's Salon reminds readers that creativity and play are worldwide phenomena.
