Stone Arch Books sponsored a contest where students wrote an entry about someone they felt was a hero at their school. Hakeem Bennett won the contest by submitting a touching story about his visually impaired teacher, Mr. Brown. The two are now featured in the Stone Arch DC Chapter Book, The Kid Who Saved Superman, available for purchase on July 15th.
Our contest winner and The Kid Who Saved Superman book have received much excitement and publicity!

Times, Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Denver Post, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Miami Herald, Seattle Times.
