I AM A SUPERHERO
In 2006-2007, thousands of children nationwide created comic books
on the theme: "I Am a Superhero." The project enabled youths to
think critically about important issues in their lives and
communities, and to devise some very creative solutions. The project
resulted in several city- and state-wide publications like the ones
below, which you can download as PDF documents.
