Dreams Can Come True by Angela E. Davis

It’s never too early to begin introducing children to choices in life-long careers. Preparing children early assists them in understanding the importance of an education early in life and how it relates to the many exciting possibilities that await them.

These books provide children with a wealth of vocabulary and knowledge in an informational style that's invaluable. The books are published by All 4 Kidz Enterprises which specializes in providing multicultural learning aids and children's books with audio CDs for children ages 2 and up.

Beastmode by Marus Hasty

The King, who was raised in the hood with his family, saw a lot of suffering in the hood.  He witnessed death and destruction by drugs, including his own family.  He witnessed the poverty and desperation of his own people.  Instead of being part of the problem, he became part of the solution and rose to the top of his game.  In his mind it was survival.
