Rod and Ricky are inseparable ten-year-old best friends growing up in a peaceful suburban neighborhood. Full of energy, laughter, and dreams, these two African American boys share everything, from games on the basketball court to adventures on their bikes. But when a new boy named Jake moves into the neighborhood, their world shifts unexpectedly. During a routine game of basketball, Jake lashes out with hurtful, racist words that leave Rod and Ricky stunned and heartbroken.Confused and discouraged, the boys retreat into silence, unsure of how to respond to something so painful. Through heartfelt conversations with their parents, Rod and Ricky are reminded of their worth, their strength, and the power of grace. Rather than responding with anger, they choose courage and return to the court, not to fight back with words, but to let their actions speak louder.As their integrity and skill shine through, even Jake begins to see them differently. What follows is a heartfelt journey of apology, forgiveness, and growth. "Rod and Ricky: Standing Strong Together" is a powerful story about friendship, resilience, and standing tall in the face of adversity. This timely children's book gently teaches young readers about racism, reconciliation, and the strength of character.
