Dr. Nosakhere Griffin-EL – Founder of Young Dreamers Book Club

“Gabe & His Green Thumb” is a must-read book for black boys! The main character carries on the tradition of growing food in his family’s garden, and one day his life changes for the good after he acquires the superpower of super sizing vegetables. Of course, his new talent brings him both media attention and prizes, which add to the engaging tale! Complementing Miller’s outstanding work are vibrant and engaging illustrations by C.J. Love that take young readers on a visual journey that will inspire them to want to dream big and create their own gardens. This book, aside from being a cute read, can and should be implemented as a tool to inspire family/school projects around growing food and flowers.”

“Brooklyn’s Finest is a welcome addition to any family’s home library. The illustrations are beautiful, and the storyline which comes from the lens of 6-year-old Akosua Greene, gives the book’s narrative a certain warmth and innocence that makes the storyline endearing. I really enjoyed this book. It even gives the reader tips on how to create your own garden with your family.”

“Miller offers a powerful insight into the experience and feelings of a bullied 11-year-old boy. He shows us how the non-violent pawns can overcome the violence of the bully kings. This book is a must-read for children and parents because it provides a how-to-guide on how to empower yourself against bullying. Khalil’s Way is the right Way.”

Charles Drew, the African American surgeon who developed ways to process and store blood plasma, and Black culture are seamlessly woven into this engaging, contemporary story about an eleven-year medical student pursuing his lost stethoscope. His name? Charles Drew, of course. David Miller has written a winner!

“Dr. David Miller has done it again! This book is perfect for mentoring programs and help small groups promote reading, STEM Education, and the importance of active fathers in the lives of youth.

We plan to use it as a staple in our mentoring programs.”

“Images and narratives of historical figures in the everyday lives of Black children are essential approaches to nurturing young people’s minds. Charlie Drew is a prime example of a resource that does just that.”
