Synopsis
A basketball prodigy learns the importance of valuing others' skills when a terrible storm decimates their hometown and he's unable to use his talents to help.
Afolabi and Bongani live in the Heart of Malawi. Afolabi is gifted with height and jaw-dropping basketball skills and accepts a recruitment contract to play basketball for a university in the U.S. Bongani, much shorter than his older brother, is a master craftsman. His carpentry skills are unmatched, but often overlooked in the shadow of his brother's career.
When Afolabi returns home and a huge storm leaves many homes in shambles, he feels powerless to help. However, Bongani has a plan to give Afolabi and the community enduring hope and a way to rebuild.
This narrative, written in rhyme, is perfect for 3rd grade students to 5th graders and helps teach respect, kindness, and innovation.

About the Author
Eric Robert Thomas is originally from Newark, New Jersey; he also claims East Orange, New Jersey, Tallahassee, Florida, and Queens, New York as home. Eric has been an elementary teacher for 24 years. I have been blessed with the honor of being Teacher of the Year in three different schools. In 2008 my students were featured in the New York Times in an article "Trenton Students Find Strength in a Pact of Their Own." In 2010 I received the "Community Cares Award" given by The Three Doctors Foundation. When Eric isn't teaching in a school, he's probably teaching percussion, participating in storytelling, tap dancing, or promoting local jazz events.
