Give your child a story that inspires confidence, courage, and the power of friendship.
Yo, Manwel Boys with Dreams is more than just a comic-it's a coming-of-age tale for kids navigating the pressures of growing up, fitting in, and finding their voice.
Manwel is a boy with big dreams and a bigger heart. Every afternoon, he hits the basketball court with his friends, hoping one day to go pro. But when a group of bullies takes over their neighborhood park, Manwel is faced with a choice: walk away or stand up.
With one last chance before he moves to a new school, Manwel challenges the odds-and a bigger, stronger opponent-for the right to dream freely and play fearlessly.
This action-packed, heartfelt graphic novel teaches kids:
How to face fear with courage
The importance of standing up for others
That true leadership starts with heart
Why resilience matters more than winning
Beautifully illustrated and full of humor, real-life stakes, and high-energy basketball, this book is perfect for:
Reluctant readers who love comics and fast-paced stories
Kids dealing with transition, anxiety, or self-doubt
Classroom read-alouds and family discussions about character and grit
In a world that often tells kids to shrink back, Manwel shows them how to rise up.
