About the book

Paperback

Tre is a 10-year-old superhero with one amazing power: he can do anything he puts his mind to!

When Tre puts his mind to it, he can fly over his city, build a robot, reach the stars, fly a plane and cook a feast. He gets a fresh cut and a big idea at the barbershop, reads about Black inventors, sings in the church choir, celebrates Juneteenth with Grandma, learns the rhythm of the drum from his elder, marches with the band and helps his little sister learn to read.

Tre Can Do Anything! helps children, especially Black children, see themselves as the hero: smart, strong, creative, kind and proud. Every page ties back to one powerful message: when you put your mind to it, you can do anything.

  • 26 original pictures to color, each printed on its own page
  • Positive representation: Black joy, family, faith, culture and community
  • Affirmation pages: I am SMART! I am STRONG! I am KIND! I am BRAVE!
  • STEM, arts, careers and leadership, not just sports
  • Bold, clean lines and simple scenes, great for ages 4-10
  • Single-sided pages, so markers won't bleed onto the next picture
  • Large 8.5 x 11 inch pages, plus a "This book belongs to" page and a "Draw YOURSELF as a superhero!" page

A perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, Black History Month, Juneteenth, Kwanzaa, classrooms and church groups, and for any child who's ready to believe in themselves.

  • Page 7 of Tre Saves the Day with Grandma, The Bus: seen from behind, Tre and Grandma stand at a bus stop as a blue bus drives away. How should Tre save the day? If Tre should picture the whole bus route in his mind, turn to page 8. If Tre should find a shortcut to catch the bus, turn to page 9.

    Page 7

    Uh-oh! Which bus? Which stop?

  • Page 10 of Tre Saves the Day with Grandma, The Grocery Store: Tre reaches up toward the last jar of peach preserves on a tall, empty shelf while Grandma watches. How should Tre save the day? If Tre should ask the store worker politely, turn to page 11. If Tre should find another way to get peaches, turn to page 12.

    Page 10 · The Grocery Store

    There it was! The very LAST jar of Grandma's favorite peach preserves!

  • Page 13 of Tre Saves the Day with Grandma, The Lost List: Grandma cries out and Tre points as the wind carries her list up into the sky. How should Tre save the day? If Tre should remember everything on the list, turn to page 14. If Tre should zoom up and catch the list, turn to page 15.

    Page 13 · The Lost List

    WHOOSH! A wild wind snatched Grandma's list and whirled it into the sky! "Oh no! My list!"

  • Page 19 of Tre Saves the Day with Grandma, The Post Office: Tre pushes hard against a big box while Grandma and a postal worker watch, his black skateboard on the floor beside him. How should Tre save the day? If Tre should look around for something that rolls, turn to page 20. If Tre should build his own Tre-cart, turn to page 21.

    Grandma's package was HEAVY. Tre pushed. Tre pulled. Ugh! It wouldn't budge!
