“There will be free activities in
the children’s tent, community

Caribbean food vendors and
free giveaways,” she added.
Herbert said the 2019 South
Jersey Caribbean Festival will
feature various aspects of the
Caribbean culture, including
Latin dancers, steel drum,
reggae, and calypso and soca

“The 19th Annual South
Jersey Caribbean Festival will

neighborhood? In your
family? Lots, right? Well,
there are “billions and billions
and billions of people in the
world,” but there is absolutely
nobody else exactly like you.
Nothing would be the same if
you weren’t here.
This planet needs boys like
you, boys that are strong in
all the right ways. We need
boys who are smart in ways
that matter. The world needs
kind boys, and boys who don’t
make other kids feel bad.
We need boys like you who
know that sports are fun and
exciting but that there are other
important things in the world.
We need boys who are curious
and boys who know how to tell
stories and who are adventurous
and who can dream.
We need boys like you who
know that you can’t be brave
without being afraid first.
Never, for example, be afraid
to cry. Crying is not weakness,
it’s strength. Even grown men
cry, you know.
The world needs boys like
you, just as it needs all the
kinds of people you’ll meet in
your lifetime. The fun thing
is that every one of them has
a story to tell, so listen and
“listen hard.” You’ll learn a
lot through the years, just by
hearing others.
Tell your friends you’re
proud of them. Tell your
family you love them. Do
good things. Walk tall “with
your head up” so you know
“where you’re going.” Greet
other people when you see
them, and ask if they might
need help. Be nice to the new
kid in class. Leave every place
and person better than they
were when you found them.
And never forget that “the
world needs a boy… oh, boy, a
boy like YOU!”
One casual stroll around
the bookstore or library, and
you know that girl-power
books have taken over, frontand
center. “A Boy Like You”
helps represent the other side
of children’s literature.
Across every page of this
picture-packed book, boys who
appear to be grade-school age
romp through an average day,
accompanied by playmates and
neighbors of all races; here, kids
will see themselves and their
families. Illustrations by Kayla
Harren are plenty to keep a child
entertained because there’s so
much activity but author Frank
Murphy’s words are the strength
of the book. Without preaching
or nagging, that text quietly
offers many positive traits as
things for boys to imitate. An
afterword for parents is the
perfect cherry on top.
