MAITLAND, FL— The new color book by Barbara
Solomon, Princess Kamala and The Lost Boy, ($11.99, paperback, 978149840251;
$9.99, e-book, 9781498402521) is not a simple children’s story. A young boy is
lost, and an entire village is upturned due to his missing status. The author
explains that her book is a metaphor for all of the lost boys in the present African
American community. She makes note that these young men are being lost to:
violence, drugs, crime, gangs, failed education systems, incarceration,
dysfunctional families, and loss of identity. The strong message within her
story will cause people to stop, think, and hopefully take action.
“Readers can learn from ancient African paradigms how to resolve problems within the community that promote harmony and well being,” states the author. “A community in conflict is unproductive and destructive to itself, and to those who come in contact with it. To strive for harmony will produce peace and a high level of productivity where all members benefit.”
