With so many career options available in the global community, only a few children from urban African American communities seem to reach beyond what thy believe to be cultural expectations. Inasmuch as sports and music are a very important part of who we are, our children need to know that their abilities and thus their options allow them to reach much broader. The ABC's of Things I Can Be gives children 26 careers, from A to Z, to help expand their minds and to expose them to the world beyond what they see everyday. In this book are real people who have successfully transcended their "boundaries" and who have become leaders in the World today. This book gives hope that African American children will not only see their potential, but also realize that they too can reach farther.
