The Adventures of Dedan and Dylan Jackson is about
the adventures of two imaginative boys and their tales of
mischief. Dedan and Dylan both live with their mom in an
upper-middle-class home. Their parents are recently divorced,
but are attempting to work together for the sake of the
children. Mrs. Ruth is the family’s nanny who watches the
Jackson boys. The idea for the book came about because of the
lack of books about African American boys. I decided to begin a
chapter series to contribute to the need for books that focus on
African American male characters, and positive role models in
the African American community. I wrote this book in an effort
to begin a trend in writing stories that all children can relate
to at any age. This is not a book solely for African American
families or children. These are warm and loving stories for
families to share and read together.
