Books with author Chad Cooper

Foodman And The Giant Burger Book is the first published paperback by Chaz Cooper. It's an imaginative, fun and heartwarming tale of Adam, a shy young boy who transforms into Foodman a superhero to save his neighborhood and city from the villain Giant Burger. Giant Burger is focused on destroying Adam's neighborhood with his destructive powers, but Foodman uses his superhero items he kept in his backpack to save the young lady, his neighborhood and city. Shy Adam is very proud of himself for saving everyone and keeping his neighborhood a safe place to live. Foodman And The Giant Burger Book is inspiring on many levels as Adam, a fictional character, is much like Chaz the author, who wishes to be a role model and motivate others. The well-known African mantra, "it takes a whole village to raise a child" certainly holds true in the life of Chaz Cooper. Chaz has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as learning disabilities. Although this is Chaz's first published book, he has written other imaginative stories. Chaz has progressed and made great strides throughout his life and is now happy to draw and author stories in his special way. Chaz has always loved drawing characters and writing stories. He gets his inspiration from the late Walt Disney and Marvel Comics' Stan Lee. Chaz's goal is to be an inspiration to every person regardless if they live with a disability or not. Chaz, along with his mother Rosetta and brother Jalan, certainly recognize in the life of a special needs family that the village indeed includes not only family members, but friends, teachers, physicians and healthcare professionals, as well as spiritual and community support. Join Chaz's village in supporting his adventurous imagination through Foodman And The Giant Burger Book.
