About 39 Lessons For Black Boys & Girls
Product Description 39 Lessons for Black Boys & Girls is a series of affirmations and lessons that promote self-esteem, education, justice and wisdom among Black children. This book is also a great kick-starter for in-depth conversations about race with boys and girls of all ethnicities. From the Author Please Note: This book contains brief reference to contextual use of the N-word and the B-word. These words are not used gratuitously or frivolously. There is a likelihood our children over the age of 10 have been exposed to these ugly words - or worse - have been addressed as such. It is up to us as parents, mentors, guardians, and the like to contextualize these two words and have a conversation with our children. Thank you for reading. About the Author Kenn Bivins isn't an African-American studies professor at an prestigious institution nor does he hold a Ph.D. in child psychology. But he is a dad, uncle and mentor who knows what it's like to grow up in Black skin. It is from those experiences that 39 Lessons for Black Boys & Girls was born. Kenn is an illustrator turned author who has an affinity toward telling both heart-warming and heart-wrenching tales of redemption. Through his novels and nonfiction, he aspires for his readers to identify with the characters and themes that he crafts through suspense, intrigue, action and the unexpected. His love of literature was born from the pages of comic books and honed by enjoying the literary works of Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison and John Steinbeck, among many. His novels, the Wedding & Disaster of Felona Mabel and Pious have received much critical acclaim from the literary world.
