PHILADELPHIA -- "You see this right here? No bullying, be kind, and have fun," said Asil Greer while reading one of his favorite books. It wasn't the classic "Green Eggs and Ham" or "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." This particular book had Asil's name on the front cover. "Reading is my superpower," he continued reading from the colorful pages. Asil, 7, is a 2nd-grade student at Lotus Academy in Philadelphia. When he's not studying fractions and times tables, he's busy writing his own books and encouraging other children to become educated. "I can read so I can lead," Asil repeated throughout the morning. That motto has come to adorn t-shirts, backpacks, and the very book that the young student penned himself.
