My Grandpa Said I Can is a heartfelt children's story about courage, confidence, and culture. When Ila and Brendon feel unsure about trying new sports where few people look like them, Grandpa steps in with wisdom, warmth, and a walk through powerful moments in Black history. This inspiring story is penned by Tyrus Hinton-a proud husband, father, grandfather, pastor, and community leader who has dedicated his life to building others up. With faith-filled encouragement, he reminds children (and adults too) that they come from a legacy of excellence-and they can do anything they set their hearts and hands to. Tyrus's mission is clear: to pass down the power of belief and to ignite purpose in the next generation. This book is his love letter to every child who's ever felt unsure, reminding them that with God, family, and faith-they can do more than just play the game... they can change it.
