More DescriptionTo Dylan he's just a typical jokester taking every opportunity to laugh at others' expense, even the ones closest to him? to the others he is a bully. Dylan thought this day would be just like any other. He's never considered the effect his actions could have on those around him. Zaine has been the focus of his taunts for years, but this time he may have pushed them too far. He had no idea when he woke up to go to today that his actions could change everything and put him on a journey of self-discovery as he and his classmates fight to restore what he destroyed? But is it too late?!EVOLVE Mentoring is a nonprofit organization that works with youth and young adults to help close the achievement gap for youth and young adults of color. Restore the Heart was written by mentees in EVOLVE Mentoring's James Baldwin Book Club. This multidimensional action packed tale is the collective creative work of our cohort of talented young middle and high schoolers of color. These students took the lead on creating a wonderful story that also addressed issues facing their everyday lives like bullying. This book can be used as a Social Emotional Learning tool to help youth unpack and discuss their feelings around difficult subjects. Please take a look inside to read the bios of our newly published young authors and learn more about EVOLVE Mentoring. All proceeds go towards supporting programs for youth and young adults of color.
