Mermaid&#8212drw everywhere, all the time. Since childhood, it was how he made sense of the
world&#8212ho he coped with the stress of being a sensitive child growing up in crowded spaces,
struggling with a learning disability, in a time when the segregation of Black Americans was the
norm. Only drawing could offer him a sense of calm, control, and confidence. When friends and
siblings teased him about having the nickname &#8220Jery&#8221as his only name, his mother
always said, &#8220Jut &#8216Jery&#8217is enough. He&#8217llmake something of that name
someday.&#8221And so he did, eventually becoming one of the most celebrated
children&#8217sbook illustrators of all time and paving the way for countless other Black artists.

tell an inspiring story of how a hardworking boy pursued his passion in less-than-ideal
circumstances and became a legendary artist against all odds.
