Sometimes children see things more clearly than adults. We all know that. There’s less “knowledge” to get in the way of truth. Less preconception. Less misconception. Kids tend to just look with their own eyes and take in whatever is in front of them. So you may want to check out a new blog we’re starting on this website. For the second summer in a row, www.sunny.org will offer a blog for kids, about kids. But you can read it too. We’ll tell the weekly tales of a young fictional family that lives in Fort Lauderdale – and this year, they will be vacationing in and around Fort Lauderdale too. Hey, even imaginary people have to economize a bit at the moment. So they’re packing up everyone and staying home! Home to explore places like the amazing Flamingo Gardens. Or the relaxed Jungle Queen. They’ll check into a hotel on the Fort Lauderdale beach. And check out parasailing. It should be fun for any kids you know. Including you.
Last year’s blog was written by Isabella, a sophisticated 13-year-old girl with a passion for writing. This year, an 11-year-old boy named Spencer will take over the writing chores. If you followed their exploits last year, Spencer was the pain-in-the-neck little brother of Juliette, who is Isabella’s best friend. They’ll all make appearances in the ongoing saga.
As you might know by now, I have written a lot of children’s books over the years. So this is a fun assignment for me. Also my nonprofit group, The Humanity Project, is very involved in the Broward school system’s major new anti-bullying efforts – with my group’s innovative anti-bullying programs likely to go into the classrooms. The point is that I do a lot of work involving children and, oddly enough, seem to be able to think like a kid. Even kids think so. For our new kids blog, the writing has to be a tad more polished than a real boy of that age could offer, of course. Otherwise, even children wouldn’t want to read it. But I think you might get a charge out of Spencer’s take on the world of South Florida. Look for it every Friday from now through August at http://www.sunny.org/lauderkids/. Something a little fresh and cool to help you enjoy greater Fort Lauderdale’s sultry tropical summer.
