About this title

Review:

Great book! It was very inspirational with a good message, which is NEVER give up on your dream!

Gladys Bettis - NFL Mom (Jerome Bettis), Professional Football Players Mother's Association

"Don't Give Up! is definitely an easy read I can share with my daughters as well as they can read for themselves. I can close my eyes and see this journey with Cream and his desire to play basketball although he is built like a small Buick. Kids need to hear this message because too often kids give up when life tells them no. Cream showed with heart and perseverance you can overcome any obstacle. Loved it."

Ron Johnson, Former NFL Athlete

Football Analyst - Fox 9/KFAN Radio

"Excellent book for children! Story portrays the true experiences of Anthony Adams, Jr. aka CREAM E. BIGGUMS!"

Larry Johnson - Defensive Line Coach, Ohio State University

"What a great story about following your dreams. Cream E. Biggums shows everyone that persistence and belief in one's self is the only proof needed to NEVER GIVE UP!"

Tamara "TAJ" George - Singer/Songwriter, SWV (Sisters With Voices)

About the Author:

Constance R. Davis, affectionately known as "Ma Spice," grew up in Detroit, Michigan. After high school, she attended Eastern Michigan University before graduating from the Michigan Paralegal Institute. In addition to being a single mom to her own son, Anthony "Spice" Adams, Connie was also "Ma Spice" to her nephews and several young men in the neighborhood. The childhood tales of Anthony and his friends growing up together are the inspiration for this book and the many stories to follow. In 2003, Anthony was drafted by the NFL's San Francisco 49ers and Ma Spice continued to support her son, now as an NFL Mom. When she is not at church or in the kitchen cooking, you can find Ma Spice being an awesome grandma to her grandchildren, great nieces, and nephews. And, of course, Ma Spice continues to dedicate herself to supporting and encouraging the local youth.
