by Crystal R. Patton (Author)
In My Arms is a tender, lyrical love letter from a mother to her son - written in the days after the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man in 2013. In the wake of another life cut short at the hands of those sworn to protect, Crystal Patton transforms sorrow, fear, and fierce love into a poetic promise: to shield her child, nurture his dreams, and affirm his immeasurable worth in a world that does not always grant Black and Brown boys the safety and innocence they deserve.
Told in warm, rhythmic lines, this book celebrates the magic, imagination, and limitless potential that every child carries. In a mother's embrace, her son is free to explore who he is and who he will become-a superhero, a healer, an adventurer, a leader. In her arms there is no fear, no judgment, no ceiling-only love, pride, and the unshakeable belief that he can shine in a world that doesn't always see his light.
With warmth, hope, and melodic beauty, In My Arms is a love poem and timeless tribute to Black boyhood, a celebration of identity and possibility, and it is a powerful reminder that every child deserves to grow, dream, and shine in safety with protection, tenderness, and the unwavering belief that he is destined for greatness.
