El Education: Frozen Cup Man

This children's book for young readers was created by a third-grade student at New Song Academy in Baltimore, MD. It was part of a project of celebrating local heroes: people who contribute to help the community. The neighborhood in which the school is based is one of extreme poverty: most residences have been boarded up and most businesses have closed. The author of this book, titled Frozen Cup Man, chose to honor a local man who made and sold frozen custard from his home.
