Remember when you were a kid? I do. Everything was new, and often a little strange. And sometimes more than a little scary. Experience and knowledge give us confidence as we grow older. We’ve been there, we’ve done that. Or at least we have learned something about it along the way – whatever “it” happens to be. Not so when we’re children. For many years, everything we do is a first. The first plane trip, the first move to a different city, the first school dance, the first kiss. We can smile now as we think back about the awkwardness of it all, the sheer innocent ignorance of our youth.
But there was excitement in the process of discovery too. That also was part of being a kid. And that will be a big part of something new here on www.sunny.org just for young readers. Called “LauderKids,” our weekly blog follows the adventures of three fictional friends who live in greater Fort Lauderdale. Juliette, Isabella and Spencer will explore this amazing part of the world, discovering its beauty and thrills and dangers. Through their eyes, real young folks will discover new things too. From the Everglades, where the series opens, to Butterfly World, from the beach to Las Olas and much more – kids now can learn about the true-life wonders of South Florida in a way that will make them want to keep reading each week. They also will have the chance to share their own thoughts about travel, offering tips and ideas about where to go and what to see in greater Fort Lauderdale.
All they have to do is log on to www.sunny.org/lauderkids every Friday. I’m very much looking forward to creating these stories, which are aimed at kids from about seven to 14-years-old. Most of the 23 juvenile books I’ve authored, including ten novels, have been for that same age group. Maybe I still am a 12-year-old myself in some ways. I’m not sure. But I do know that I’ll have fun writing this series of blogs, short chapter by short chapter. They should provide an educational, wholesome, but also fun experience for kids on the Web. Who knows – you might even enjoy reading these exciting tales, whatever your age. It’ll all be something new, and maybe a little scary sometimes too. Just like being a kid again.
