This collection features my first published short story Run on Any How. Smiley’s book was awarded the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in 2003.

Meet the one and only J-Man. Justice is a lively little boy with a great imagination who lives in Cleveland, where the lake is eerie and the river is crooked. Like his “superhero parents,” Justice discovers the meaning of his alter ego, J-Man’s superpowers, and shows everyone that a little kindness can change the world.
