Alan Page And Daughter Write Children's Book

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page and his daughter have written a new children's book to benefit his foundation, which tackles barriers to higher education for young people of color.

"The Invisible You" by Alan and Kamie Page focuses on the importance of diversity and how it can be a big asset in the classroom. The Page Education Foundation will celebrate its launch at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon.

The Supreme Court justice and NFL Hall of Famer says the book teaches kids how to recognize, validate, accept and embrace differences.

Proceeds will benefit the foundation, which awarded more than $800,000 this year to more than 500 students attending colleges across Minnesota.

It's the second book for Page and his daughter, Kamie, who's a schoolteacher.
