  |  | The Spotlight Novel "Mama's Boyz The Big Picture" | September 14, 2011 through September 20, 2011 - Vol 108 | | | | In This Issue | | | | | Online Store | | | | | | | Greetings! | |  In this week's Spotlight we feature "Mama's Boys The Big Picture" by Jerry Craft
Just Scratch beneath the surface of Mama's Boyz and Jerry Craft tells the tale of Black history. My 12 year-old daughter Samantha has read Mama's Boys books over and over. We take it along on road trips for a good laugh and learn a thing or two.
--Barbara Slate
We like the Mama Boyz books because Yusuf and Tyrell are really funny and interesting but they also teach lessons that kids can relate too. "Ma" really shows how school, racial opinions and health are important. These books are a "must read" for all ages.
--Sarishka (10) & Shriya (7)
We can't keep the books on the shelves! A great read for both kids and parents.

Mama Boy'z was the first comic book I ever read. It was really funny but also inspired me in many different ways. I started to read it to my 9-year old nephew and he loved it too! I'd recommend this to anyone at any age.

Mama's Boyz has also teamed up with several organizations such as helping to fight childhood obesity with the American Council for Fitness and Nutrition, raise awareness of organ and tissue donation for Donate Life America, and increase support for the American Diabetes Association-- which earned him two Outstanding Supporter Awards. He has also won two African American Literary Awards Show Open Book Awards for "best comic strip" (2009 & 2004) and received nominations from the National Cartoonists Society and the Glyph awards.
