Story Behind The Book
I prepared to write the stories for The Little Big Thinkers by studying the actions of my two sons when they were ten and thirteen years old. From observing them in action, I have learned there is nothing little about children choosing right over wrong, bravery over cowardice and success over failure. Besides my children, most of the kids I have met reminded me of skilled circus performers who dazzle their audiences with acts no one thought were possible. Meeting these talented and courageous kids has inspired me to describe their actions through fiction. For example, a boy in one of the stories in The Little Big Thinkers uses quick thinking to trap a burglar in a basement. In another story, a boy, his sister, and friend also use their creative thinking skills to stop a mischievous kid from frightening the community people at night. I not only studied my sons’ and other kids’ behaviors in preparing to write these stories, I drew on my own childhood experiences in Norway, a small community in Jamaica, West Indies. I have done different types of writings over the years, but writing for children is the most enjoyable of all. I found children to be a rich source of characters, dialogues, and conflicts to develop, portray, and resolve in stories. Although the tales in The Little Big Thinkers are about children, some adults might also enjoy reading them. This is especially true of the adults who select books for kids and like reading to them. I think many grown-ups (I am one of them) would agree that learning from and about kids never stops. Get your copy or copies today and start your reading-journey through this action-packed world of young protagonists (the leading characters) and antagonists (the characters opposing the leading characters). As you fall in and out of love with the characters, I hope you have as much fun reading about them as I have had writing about them.
