How do we inspire the Young People in Our Lives?
I've been reflecting a lot on this as we come towards the end of our time on the Viking World Cruise.
Our lives have been filled with so many awesome experiences, stories and photos!
What are the messages we want to convey to our friends and family?
My wife Jan reminds me that we owe our young ones the favor of transmitting hope for the future rather than despair over the state of the world... especially the natural world.
I believe kids love fascinating facts and stories about animals because they can easily engender a sense of awe and wonder about the natural world. When I was a youngster I couldn't get enough of the stories of nature and travel by authors like Gerald Durrell, Mark Twain, Loren Eiseley, and Edward Abbey.
I'm in the process of gathering some of the most fascinating facts I can discover about animals and collecting them in a book under the pen name of B. B. Brilliant. You can download a completely free preview here.
Here's my goal for writing these Brilliant books:
I write books designed to “Spark Imagination and Brighten Minds” under the pen name B.B. Brilliant, I believe strongly in the transformative power of storytelling to inspire young readers to explore the boundless realms of creativity and knowledge.
By crafting enchanting books filled with fun facts, adventure, and valuable life lessons, B.B. Brilliant aims to ignite the spark of imagination within each child, encouraging them to dream big, think creatively, and embrace their unique brilliance. Through his books, B.B. Brilliant seeks to provide a gateway to a world where young minds can delve into the wonders of imagination, learn important values, and ultimately emerge with a brighter outlook on life and an insatiable thirst for discovery and nature.
