I AM my ancestors' wildest dreams.
In a story that sizzles and soars, a young child discovers his place in a distinguished lineage. As he meets ten exceptional Black men - historical and contemporary heroes who have paved the way for his own future success - he internalizes and asserts their greatness. Just like them, he can reach his dreams. And just like him, you have within you big potential. Tanisia Moore views writing as her avenue for giving hope, sharing life's lessons, and sparking imaginations. She writes uplifting stories for all ages and wrote I Am My Ancestors' Wildest Dreams, her first picture book, because she wanted to introduce children to more contemporary Black men and inspire readers to dream and live big. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with her husband and three young children. Learn more at tanisiamoore.com.
