Your Life Matters

Empowering and validating, Chris Singleton reassures Black children everywhere that no matter what they hear, no matter what they experience, no matter what they’re told, their lives matter.

Each page in the book depicts a famous hero from Black history mentoring a child of today and encouraging them to use their mind, heart, voice, and hands in that fight. Heroes in the book include: Maya Angelou, Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Aretha Franklin, Katherine Johnson, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Mary McLeod Bethune, George Washington Carver, and others.

Chris teaches kids to stand tall in the face of racial adversity and fight for the life they dream of.
