“I’m Jack. I’m black.” tells the story of Jack and his best friend Max.

The book follows Jack’s hopeful optimism, to a very surprising ending. The story is told through sparse words, and stark silhouettes over brightly painted backgrounds. Jackson, who is also the illustrator, shows a masterful use of style and design, to convey the story’s powerful message.

When Jack sets out to see the world and find a place of his own, he’s surprised to attract a following of enthusiastic animal friends eager to join him on his quest. Jack and his entourage all have high hopes that they will find just what they are looking for as they travel on their merry way. Children will delight in the cumulative chorus of animal sounds as the pages get more and more crowded with the residents of this delightful kingdom.

An uproarious companion to Heads or Tails and Jack's New PowerAccording to his new motto - A WRITER'S JOB IS TO TURN HIS WORST EXPERIENCES INTO MONEY - Jack Henry is going to be filty rich even before he gets out of junior high, for his life is filled with the worst experiences imaginable. In the course of the few months covered in this cycle of interlinked stories, Jack is humiliated by a gorgeous syncronized swimmer, gets a tattoo the size of an ant on his big toe, flubs an IQ test and nearly fails wood shop, and has to dig up his dead dog not once but twice. And that's not the half of it. But, as The School Library Journal put it, Jack's "a survivor, an 'everyboy' whose world may be wacko but whose heart and spirit are eminently sane." Jack may not end up rolling in dough, but he, along with his humorously off-kilter familly, always keeps on trying.

In middle and high school, you get tests. That stinks.”Sports: “Guys can get kind of weird about their sports sometimes. I mean, I like all sports, so I don’t see what the big issue is.

We weren’t when we first met.
