Nathaniel B. Free is a spunky, spirited nine-year-old poet who raps and rhymes
about his world, from what it's like to be nine, to his education, missing his mama,
making friends, misbehaving, his daddy, his aunt and his future. Along with a fine
intellect, Nathaniel is playful, curious and enthusiastic and he shares with candor
his thoughts about the world and his place in it. |
