My son had to read this book for his middle school over the summer. I love to use sports with everyday analogy and it is something they can relate to. I am a struggling reader, so I hope this peaks his interest.

Kwame Alexander is Everything
Derived From Web , Dec 4, 2017
Kwame Alexander is a positive force in children's literature and young adult literature. He goes wherever he advocates for literacy for all. This makes me want to buy everything he writes alone. Here is a self-help book for children! This book will inspire young readers through personal narratives, stories of famous athletes, photographs and quotations. It makes clear that dreams require work and dedication to bear fruit. The page count is a good deceptive, in a small way. Kids feel good about carrying a book with some heft, but font size, white space and photographs help keep the stories moving at a quick clip. His sense of humor and ability to be self-satisfied as well as self-deprecating appeal to readers of all ages.
