Dear Mr. Barnes,
I came across your profile through your interview on Natural Chica's blog and it was very refreshing to see a black male as an author of children's books. I thank the Almighty for giving you such a gift and for using it in a way to empower our youth especially our young men. I don't have any children of my own yet, but I cannot wait to gift some of these books to my younger relatives, male and female, for christmas. Being able to identify with the characters in books you read at such a young age make alot of difference. "For Us, By Us"!! Thanks again for sharing your talent with the world. All the best and I am looking forward to seeing more books from you. Peace + Love to you and your family
