Professor J or simply "Professor" as he is called by his many adoring students, has been an educator for twelve years. In this time, he discovered that there are so few children's books featuring African American characters..not to mention light skinned Blacks and those of mixed (cajun/creole) descent. Jacques, his first work, is a re-telling of a classic folktale, featuring all African American characters. It is his first in a series of re-imagining of time honored tales that will bring our beautiful culture to bookshelves far and wide!
