3-year-old who wowed 'Windy City LIVE' audience with 'Hey, Black Child' poem reading writes a book

[@anrarmstr]

She's so well spoken 🥰❣

[@emmarosie18]

At three years old, Payton was gorgeous and amazing! Firstly, to create that poem and secondly to memorize her poem. And lastly, at three, she knew exactly what she was writing about and how to say the words! She’s amazing in the manner in which she articulates!! Also, tell the young lady who hosts to NEVER ask a child which sibling is their favorite!!! It’s indelicate and could hurt a relationship between siblings cause someone thought they were being funny. They weren’t. Also, be careful what you say to a child cause they are like Elephants, they NEVER FORGET! It will come back to haunt you. In this case, Val and Payton got equal chances of learning from each other and sharping new things together! A rewarding experience for both of them those lucky girls

Yes but she didn't write the poem she did when she was three. It was written by Useni Eugene Perkins
