Tired of Bullying, Youth Suicide and Social Media Violence, an Assistant Superintendent Takes Action to Make a Difference for Students and Families

On Wednesday, July 19, 2017, Dr. Sonia Cunningham Leverette hosts the virtual launch of her 5-star children’s story book, BJ’s Big Dream, written to help build confidence, discipline and problem solving skills in youth. From 10 AM to 9 PM EST, the online event includes discussions with best-selling authors, Facebook chats and giveaways of autographed books and downloads. The complete schedule of events and giveaways are available at www.bjsbigdream.com.

Dr. Sonia Cunningham Leverette says, “I chose a career in education because I am passionate about children and their success. When children feel helpless and hopeless, they often act out in unproductive ways. I am saddened by the number of children who commit suicide especially as it relates to bullying.” Although this children’s story book is about an African American boy who admires Bob Marley’s music and hair, BJ’s Big Dream inspires children to think beyond today’s challenges and dream about tomorrow’s results. “My desire is to boost children’s self-esteem by providing options that encourage them to dream, plan, do and celebrate. When they work toward a goal and claim victory over difficult situations, they have hope for the future.”

BJ’s Big Dream has been compared to Cedella Marley’s board book, Every Little Thing. The book introduces a new generation to Bob Marley’s beloved song while illustrating a child’s resiliency in not letting anything get him down. Another comparable title is The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss. This children’s book focuses on the determination of a little boy who plants, nurtures and protects a carrot seed despite the discouragement of others.
