The salon was voted one of the best in the world by US Harpers Bazaar. Barney has worked on multiple London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks and has been featured in the worlds top international publications. Starting his career in London in the 90’s he decided to swap the grey chilliness for some sun and blue sky which brought him to Sydney. Barney has styled some of the worlds biggest celebrities and sought after faces. Originally published in 1971, The tenth good thing about Barney is a timeless classic.With over 25 years experience of creating impeccable work and making people look their best. Judith Viorst touches on religious questions without trying to answer them, but leaves room for each family to have their own interpretation of death, and the story might encourage a child to talk about his feelings. The book also opens up conversation as to what happens in the hereafter, or what readers think might happen to pets when they die. One might realize that every problem within itself contains its solution, if only one would look for it and focus on the good. It teaches readers that focusing on the positive things associated with a not-so-ideal situation makes it easier to deal with.
Time in itself is a physician if only we’re supported through the process. It is a great book to help younger children cope with the loss of a pet, and older readers to understand that we have to honour the grieving process and questions children may have as they mourn their beloved pet, and learn to let go. This serves as basis for the tenth good thing about Barney the boy comes up with, and he rests with the idea that it is “a pretty nice job for a cat”. While the boy helps his dad in the garden to plant seeds, his dad explains to him that “in the ground everything changes”, and helps his son understand how Barney is helpful to the environment even after his death. This task, however, helps him remember the things he liked about his cat and takes his mind off the pain he feels. We all know how sad it is to loose a well-loved pet, and how kids might feel like doing nothing but cry… The boy’s mother encourages him to think about 10 good things he can mention when they have a funeral for Barney, but he can only think of nine.
