Ten year old Avery is disturbed by yet another unarmed black man being shot. This prompts his parents to sit down with him and his brother to have "the talk", a conversation about what to do when approached by police. They use a catchy chant while also emphasizing that all police are not bad. A to the L to the I-V-E...Come home ALIVE...That is the key!


This book is NOT anti-police...it IS anti-police brutality! It is simply told from the perspective of a young black boy who has real life questions. The book helps parents have this really difficult conversation. It also addresses the Social Emotional Learning component of Social Awareness (Understanding the perspectives and feelings of others /teaching empathy).

About the Author
Gragg, Sanya Whittaker: - Wife, Mom, Social Worker, and now Author, Sanya Whittaker Gragg has always had a passion for working with and inspiring kids. She holds degrees from the University of Memphis, Georgia State University and the University of Southern California. She has worn many hats including nearly 10 years in marketing/PR and athletics working for NIKE, the Detroit Pistons and the University of Michigan Athletics. Sanya also worked as an assistant to best selling author, E.Lynn Harris. While living in Ann Arbor, she served on the board for a homeless shelter for families, and advocated in the courts for foster children as a CASA. Her work in the community and with families prompted her to pursue her Master's degree in Social Work. This led to her working in Tulsa Public Schools as a school based therapist and social worker. Raising two black sons (now young adults) prompted her to write her debut children's book on interacting with police. Featured in Essence's 10 Things We're Talking About, Huffington Post and The Undefeated, this picture book spent several weeks as #1 on Amazon's Hot New Releases in Children's Prejudice & Racism. It also received a starred review from The School Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews called it a heartbreakingly, necessary work. Her follow up title addresses bullying and self empowerment. Her third title will kick off a series based around the daily adventures of her spunky, precocious, kinky-curly haired 4 year old surprise daughter!
