More Adventures of Little Mikey is the second in a series of chapter books, featuring Little Mikey and his schoolmates. The first book in the series, The Adventures of Little Mikey, highlighted character traits that improve social emotional learning (SEL). The impetus for creating this series is to provide an additional tool to support parents, teachers, counselors, and other educators as they engage students in social emotional learning, which is regarded by educators as foundational and critical to the academic success of students.More Adventures of Little Mikey continues to illustrate the importance of children displaying strong character traits such as kindness, respect, generosity, fairness, compassion, unselfishness, and self-awareness. At the end of each chapter, there are several questions that encourage children to think more about those character traits.

This book is intended to highlight a phenomenon that occurs daily in the lives of Black leaders who serve in leadership positions in predominantly White organizations. Those individuals are evaluated and critiqued with the normal metrics of leadership, but they are also subjected to an additional set of expectations and challenges that do not apply to their White counterparts.The challenges highlighted in this book - regardless of industry or whether in the public or private sector - are the result of systemic racism that commenced in 1619 and remains alive today. The historical and on-going dehumanization of Black people, and the public policies and laws that have sustained it, have been responsible for the creation and maintenance of contemporary racism and its many manifestations.
