Book Description
An anthology by Chaitanya Srivastava, "Dad, You Are My Superhero Anthology" is dedicated exclusively to recognize father's role feeling fatherless on fathers day. This assemblage comprises a myriad of inspiring and moving personal narratives and verses dedicated to the architecture of paternal love, resilience, and knowledge. All stories in the anthology ARE able to encapsulate the very idea of fatherly heroism, and the narrations of the sweet paternal instructions or insistence are standpoints that reflect heroic actions as well. Assembled with much love and affection, this book by Chaitanya Srivastava truly celebrates fatherhood as being a genuine superhero, and should be a moving and deeply touching read for the fathers of the world and their children, where the true value and importance of father figures is explored.

A coming-of-age tale about a boy who proves that with superhero courage--and a few great sidekicks--you can take on even the toughest of odds. Adapted from a story that first appeared in Flying Lessons & Other Stories and perfect for fans of The Parker Inheritance by Varian Johnson. Isaiah is now the big man of the house. But it's a lot harder than his dad made it look. His little sister, Charlie, asks too many questions, and Mama's gone totally silent. Good thing Isaiah can count on his best friend, Sneaky, who always has a scheme for getting around the rules. Plus, his classmate Angel has a few good ideas of her own--once she stops hassling Isaiah. And when things get really tough, there's Daddy's journal, filled with stories about the amazing Isaiah Dunn, a superhero who gets his powers from beans and rice. Isaiah wishes his dad's tales were real. He could use those powers right about now! Kelly J. Baptist's debut novel explores the indomitable spirit of a ten-year-old boy and the superhero strength it takes to grow up.

Book Description
Dear Dad chronicles the impact of fathers or fatherlessness at a time when a national initiative and even President Barack Obama have sounded the clarion call for responsible fatherhood amid a continuing crisis of paternal absenteeism. This at a time when U.S. Census figures show that 4 out of 10 American children are being born to single mothers with the number of unwed births among African Americans rising to 7 out of 10."In some ways, this is a how-to manual: How to overcome; how to succeed; how to live on; how to be a better father; how to forgive our fathers; and, even, how to love, remember, and honor our fathers," Fountain said. "Dear Dad is for everyone who has a father, for everyone who has lost one, loved one, or longed for one, for everyone who happens to be one, and for everyone who longs to be a better one." Contributors to the anthology include: Chicago Sun-Times Editor-in-Chief Don Hayner; former New York Times and Wall Street Journal writer Nichole Christian; Chicago Tribune reporter Lolly Bowean; Stephanie Gadlin, press secretary to Congressman Bobby Rush; Bloomberg News journalist Mario Parker; veteran Washington Post writer Hamil Harris; Chicago native, journalist and documentarian Teresa Sewell; Sylvester Monroe, former senior editor of Ebony magazine; Vincent Allen, pastor and founder of Agape Fellowship Ministries in Virginia; former Chicago Tribune reporter and freelance writer Monica Fountain; Chicago musician R. Darryl Thomas; former Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Rosa Maria Santana; nationally known writer and editor Joseph Kirby; English professor and creative writer Anne Valente; and former Chicago Sun-Times architecture critic Lee Bey.

Book Description
Superheroes soar in this promising debut—and they’re kids! Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his nice—but odd—new friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but they’re haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappear—along with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers? The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War II–era comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, and—possibly, unbelievably—“powerless” regular-kid Daniel himself. Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero.
