Excerpt
FROM THE BOOK --
On a bright sunny day,
Akbar went outside to play.
He dribbled his ball through the doorway;
smiling all along the way.
He stopped by the steps to view
where his friends liked to sit/
He said, "I have some news,
and I want to tell you about it!
Akbar told them, "I came today
to tell you all that we'll be moving away!"
"To where," one friend asked Akbar.
Akbar replied, "I don't know but
Mama says... it is very far."
Akbar explained,
"My daddy's company is moving us all..
My dad is a scientist like George
Washington Carver...you may recall.
We read a book about
Benjamin Banneker & him.
My dad does work like them.

I read your story and found it really interesting. I felt the need to show my interest in this story because such a great story should not just remain without being converted into a comic. Without a doubt, even without the comic, the story is really good, but if it gets converted into a comic, it will attract a lot more people.
btw I am a comic artist my work is to turn stories to comics and also do charcter art, cover art would you mind to checking out my work here is mt discord harper_clark and IG _harperr_ fell free to reach me here okay bye thanks for this amazing story
