What Readers Are Saying:

"We read this as a family read before bedtime. The kids enjoyed the characters in the book and learned some creole dialect as well. I enjoyed the positive role model Jaden presented. Being smart is COOL!"

"Absolutely excellent. The author's depiction of a kindergartener is fantastic. My kindergartener really identified with Jaden as he also likes his teacher, has all kinds of friends, and is ALWAYS begging for screen time...As a Black parent, it's refreshing to read a book that's NOT about stereotypically Black interests, racism, or urban life. Buying Episode 2 TODAY!"

"Wonderful story! This little boy just comes to life for you! :) An excellent book to read and share with your children or just yourself! :D"
