Isaac can't grow a beard like his dad’s, but helping his community makes him the coolest kid at the barbershop.

Isaac wants to grow a beard, just like his dad, who always seems to be the coolest guy in the barbershop. Isaac uses Dad’s beard oil every day for weeks, but nothing happens. Next time it’s barbershop day, Isaac doesn’t even want to go back—but maybe there is still a way for him to grow the coolest beard.
