Imagining Me
Even as an adult, I found myself inspired by the wisdom in this powerful children's picture book. Especially loved the lines, "I have powerful thoughts! My thoughts come to be, no more impossible. But I'm-possible with lots of opportunities." :oved the clever and memorable word play morphing "impossible" to "I'm possible." What an important message... for children and adults alike!

Special, Just Like Me
As a former children's librarian, I love how this beautifully illustrated book empowers children to believe in their own specialness, while also acknowledging the value and uniqueness of all other kids and adults. I appreciated the rhymes and rhythm of this book and the way it models a strong Black extended family - and I have no doubt that children, parents and caregivers will like these things, as well.

The Heart of Me: The Leader Within
"Dr. Free has once again created a book that is meant for children, but inspiring for adults. The Heart of Me: The Leader Within is a book of meaningful, inspirational text with unique bold illustrations. The workbook at the end makes the book very engaging and keeps it from being a one time read. This book is one to keep in rotation at any age to practice self-reflection or a motivational reboot" J.
