As reading tutors to elementary-aged students, the teens of Reach noticed that few children's books reflected their lived experience as youth of color. So they decided to take action and write their own. Now these D.C. teens are diversifying children's literature, one smart-fun-real-brave-bold story at a time.
Trevon Evans was a senior at Richard Wright Public Charter School when he wrote Adventures in Ana Park. He likes to draw and to play football and basketball. He wants to start playing lacrosse, and in the future he would like to be a visual artist. He wants this book to be something that kids can relate to, especially because many of them know Anacostia Park. The book shows images of kids having fun at the park, and he wants young readers to take away that they should enjoy their childhood.
