Hey black child,

Do you know who you are?

Who really are? Do you know you can be

What you want to be

If you try to be

What you can be?

This lyrical, empowering poem celebrates black children and seeks to inspire all young people to dream big and achieve their goals.

"A lyrical, empowering poem that celebrates black children and seeks to inspire all young ones to dream big and achieve their goals"-- Provided by publisher.
