-year-old, I work to offer a unique perspective to younger children about growing up in this day and age. A large part of my childhood was reading children's books with my grandfather. With lessons learned from these books, I was shaped into the person I am today. I hope to help other children find their purpose and navigate life's journey using my book "The Journey of a Kite."

Book synopsis: An inspiring children's book that uses the metaphor of a kite to show how the ups and downs and life can be tough, but when you find your purpose nothing can stop you.
