Critical Reviews
Praise for J.D. and the Great Barber Battle, illustrated by Akeem S. Roberts: ★ "This is authentic storytelling, supported by Roberts' vigorous cartoons--full of styles that are straight fire."
--Kikus Reviews, starred review "Akeem S. Roberts' cartoon-style illustrations of J.D. and his friends are packed with personality and make this a great choice for readers transitioning into chapter books...feels like a winner."
--BookPage "I love that level of cartoon quality to his artwork that felt like the best compliment to J. Dillard's writing."
--BlackNerdProblems.com "I got really attached to his style in the book too. Mr. Roberts has an animation background, and you can tell. Animators, after all, have a tendency to distinguish themselves when they illustrate books."
