I Am Every Good Thing by Gordon C. James
The confident Black narrator of this book is proud of everything that makes him who he is. Heâs got big plans, and no doubt heâll see them throughâas heâs creative, adventurous, smart, funny, and a good friend. Sometimes he falls, but he always gets back up. And other times heâs afraid, because heâs so often misunderstood and called what he is not. So slow down and really look and listen, when somebody tells youâand shows youâwho they are. There are superheroes in our midst!
