Dr. TJ Debnam’s heartwarming children’s book “My Daddy Is a Hero?!” follows nine-year-old Tyriq as he embarks on a secret mission to discover whether his father might truly be a superhero. An author, educator, and minister from Nashville, Tennessee, Dr. Debnam draws on his years of service with the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools® to deliver a story that celebrates Black fatherhood, kindness, and faith. Holding a Doctorate in Ministry, he uses storytelling as a tool to empower families and nurture the next generation through literacy and love.

Through Tyriq’s curious eyes, readers see a week filled with discovery as the boy realizes that true heroism is not about capes or superpowers but about compassion and courage. The book shines as an authentic celebration of service and family, reminding readers that everyone has the power to make a difference. Perfect for classrooms, Freedom Schools®, and bedtime reading, “My Daddy Is a Hero?!” uplifts the spirit and reinforces positive images of Black fatherhood.

Inspired by his own son and his experience working with youth, Dr. Debnam continues to create Afrocentric and faith-inspired stories that strengthen community and self-worth. Beyond his work as an author, he mentors young people and encourages families to see themselves as the heroes of their own stories. His dynamic storytelling reflects his mission to blend faith, culture, and purpose into every lesson.

A glowing review calls the book “a very heartwarming story about a son’s admiration for the work his dad does in their community…very relatable to people of any age and gender.” The reviewer praises Dr. Debnam for crafting “a moving story that highlights how children watch what parents do, rather than what they say.”
