"The book draws on the richness of African American storytelling, proverbs, and the oral tradition to teach parents how to prepare their children to survive and thrive in a society where there is still a residual of racism. It is a timely book that makes a vital contribution to the literature on African American children and parenting."
— Joseph L. White, professor emeritus of psychology and psychiatry, University of California, Irvine
"Stickin' To, Watchin' Over, and Getting' With [is] a must read for educators, social workers, and others focused on the success of African American children."
— Kaye E. Burnside, regional superintendent, West Contra Costa Unified School District, Richmond, California
