BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Darryl loves school and plans to go to college some day. He writes a poem and his teacher tells him the poem is great and that he should enter it in the school talent show. When he does, other kids tease him and bully him. Darryl feels bad and takes his name off the talent show list. During the night Darryl has a dream. In the dream he can be anything he wants. At the end he just wants to be the best that he can be. At school he enters the talent show again. Everybody loves his poem!
What an awesome story! This is the story of Darryl McDaniel, famous rapper. The poem in the back of his book is his third grade poem. The illustrations are fantastic, colorful and bright. I love the story and this book would help a lot of students not feeling good enough, students that are teased and bullied. It teaches how to deal with that and I love the character of his mother and how supportive and helpful she was to her son. You can do anything if you just put your mind to it. Be the best you that you can be.
