My Man Blue

My Man Blue is a book of poems by Nikki Grimes. The pictures are b Jerome Lagarrigue. I love this book because it’s about life. A man named Blue lost his son named Zeke. He died in a drive-by. It was too late for his father to be there for him. Blue meets another boy with the same name as his son. In the story, Blue treats the new Zeke like his son. He tries to encourage Zeke to stand up, put his shoulders back and be the man of the family. The pictures are like real life. You should read this book because it’s cool.
