"The Good Me and The Hood Me" is a bold and beautiful journey through the mind and heart of a young Black boy navigating two worlds within himself. In this groundbreaking children's book, Dr. Paul Miller opens the door to an internal dialogue that so many young boys face but few know how to express. Through poetic narration, raw honesty, and vivid internal conflict, the book explores the boy's daily tug-of-war between the "The Good Me"-the version striving for purpose, peace, and promise-and the "The Hood Me"-the version born from survival, pressure, and pain.Dr. Miller doesn't shy away from the real. Instead, he empowers young readers with language to understand the war within-the one between trauma and triumph, the streets and schoolbooks, rage and resilience. This story is not just a window into one boy's mind-it's a mirror for millions. It teaches children, families, and educators alike that acknowledging the duality within us is the first step toward healing and greatness.With lyrical cadence and a pulse rooted in lived experience, The Good Me and The Hood Me is a love letter to every child who's ever felt misunderstood, every boy who's ever wrestled with identity, and every reader who believes transformation starts with truth.This is more than a children's book-it's a movement, a conversation starter, and a healing tool.
