What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

An upbeat, empowering, important picture book from the team that created the award-winning Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut I ama nonstop ball of energy.Powerful and full of light.I am a go-getter. A difference maker. A leader. The confident Black narrator of this book is proud of everything that makes him who he is. He’s got big plans, and no doubt he’ll see them through–as he’s creative, adventurous, smart, funny, and a good friend. Sometimes he falls, but he always gets back up. And other times he’s afraid, because he’s so often misunderstood and called what he is not. So slow down and really look and listen, when somebody tells you–and shows you–who they are. There are superheroes in our midst!
