Synopsis

“A true story about the transformative power of love and mentorship.” Gilbert doesn’t know what to do. He gets bad grades no matter how hard he tries. His parents aren’t around to help. His teacher says to focus on football - but Coach just suspended him! Will Gilbert’s life just keep getting worse? Hope arrives when his older brother Michael calls. Michael “gets it” – and that will make all the difference! “Written by an award-winning elementary school principal and the brother he mentored.” From brothers Michael and Gilbert Allen comes an inspiring, true story of what it takes to persevere through the real obstacles facing young Black boys today. While talking plainly and frankly about poverty and racism, Brotherly Love gives holistic and practical tools that will help youth navigate their feelings, inspire them to seek out and value mentorship, and empower them to trust their own inner strength.
