THE BARACK IN ME by Moses Miller is a powerful real-talk work of art. Miller jumps right in with making the reader of all ages feel cozy and comfortable as he gives quick street-smart lessons about survival. He has the gift of inviting you to sit down and hear what he has to share through his tone and precise word choices. This enables youth readers to discover that the ideals and principals of a great leader can be found deep inside their own minds and hearts.
What readers will learn from THE BARACK IN ME are strong morals and values from a young man who knows the trappings of the street and the best ways to avoid those them. Miller is brilliant at creating his own righteous allegories based on reality barber shop talk, a hustling snowman, and the absolutely tear-jerking short story about JR's championship shot.
Moses Miller is quite a talented and inspiring writer for parents and young adults. He has spoken frankly about the issues faced by youth today. THE BARACK IN ME offers readers insight into how the streets today swallow youth and how parents can apply community service, discipline, and values for youth to overcome those daily challenges.
