Nelson Beats the Odds

Ronnie Sidney, II, LCSW’s trinity of quality, young adult literature, includes Nelson Beats the Odds, Tameka’s New Dress, and Rest in Peace RaShawn Reloaded. All three graphic novels inspire confidence in children, especially children of color, and encourage a fondness for reading and a heightened level of social awareness. Sidney’s stories present learning disabilities, trauma, and bullying in a sensitive, easy-to-understand and age-appropriate format for kids.
