Lil' Boy: The Journey to the County Commissioner's Office

By April Jones

Lil’ Boy is just your regular boy. He grew up on his father’s farm in Creek Town. From slopping the pigs to picking cotton Lil’ Boy found fun and adventure living through the daily struggles of the average black child in the 1960’s. He had no big ambitions, no big dreams, no desires to rule the world, just a little too much of inquisitiveness on his part. Then something happened that transformed everything about a boy who would rather hunt rabbits than do his assignments or worst of all pick cotton from the cotton fields. While walking home on road 314 in creek town, Lil boy was confronted by some angry men in a truck. They threw huge rocks at him. This was the turning point for Lil’ Boy. The event totally transformed his life. There and then he made a vow to himself that “One day he would own this road and these men will not be able to throw rocks at him any longer.” “Lil’ Boy: The Journey to the Commissioner’s Office” tells the story of Commissioner Mose Jones Jr. in a fun and exciting way targeted at children who are looking to make a difference in their homes, communities, school and our country. Children of all ages learn the important and timeless lesson of how to work peacefully with everyone through strife and challenges in order to achieve their dreams.
