Troy Wilson and Dean Griffiths have created the perfect children's book. Perfect Man is the "perfect" Read Aloud for our 5th Grade students. Our theme this year is Superheroes: Empowering the Future, and that is just what the main character, Mr. Clark, a superhero teacher does. Mr. Clark looks inside and sees the good inside people. He empowers his student, Michael Maxwell McAllum, to find the hero in himself, to find his super power. Mr. Clark helps Michael bring out the power to write. He tells him not only does he have to read and write, but he has to LIVE. He has to try new things, meet new people, and research along the way. Michael takes his advice, and he grew, and he wrote, and he lived. Michael Maxwell McAllum grows up to be a best-selling author, and Mr. Clark is his biggest fan.
